Negative Cotton Effect

Optical activity of the achiral cation [Co(NH3)6]3+ is induced both by (S)-AsnONa and (S)-GlnONa, as shown by a negative Cotton effect in the 1A1g → 1T1g transition region. An outer-sphere interaction by three-point attachment of the amides can explain the fact that substitution reaction of [Co(NH3)6]3+ with the mentioned amides in an alkaline medium is unusually slow as compared with other amino acids.

Protecting Group

The 2,2,2-trichloroethyl esters of several N-carbobenzoxy-amino acids were prepared by reacting the corresponding acid chlorides with trichloroethanol and the carbobenzoxy groups were selectively removed by HBr–AcOH. The resulting esters were then coupled with various N-carbobenzoxy-amino acids or peptides using dicyclohexylcarbodiimide in acetonitrile to give N-carbobenzoxy-peptide trichloroethyl esters. The selective removal of the trichloroethyl protecting group was effected by reduction using zinc in acetic acid. The optical activity of the N-carbobenzoxy-peptides so obtained agreed well with the values reported in the literature. The overall results suggest that the 2,2,2-trichloroethyl group could be useful for carboxyl protection during peptide synthesis.
