N-(2-Hydroxyarylmethy1ene)amino acids have been coupled with amino acid esters to form sterically pure N-protected dipeptide esters. The protecting group can be removed by means of 80% acetic acid under conditions which leaves the t-butyloxycarbonyl protecting group intact. Biologically active peptides which are C-terminal partial sequences of substance P were prepared and were shown to have the expected vasodilator, spasmogenic and venoconstrictor properties.

The reaction of dimedone (5,5-dimethylcyclohexane-1,3-dione) with amino-acid "active" esters leads to optically pure enamine derivatives. The dimedone derivatives of amino acid esters could also be converted by way of their hydrazides to the corresponding azides. The thiophenyl ester and azide derivatives have been used directly for peptide synthesis. The protecting group can easily be removed from the N-protected peptides by means of aqueous bromine, with the formation of 2,2-dibromodimedone and the hydrobromide of the corresponding peptide ester.

The review is mainly concerned with the protonation equilibria of biologically active ligands like amino acids, peptides, DNA constituents, and amino acid esters in nonaqueous media. Equilibrium concentrations of proton-ligand formation as a function of pH were investigated. Also, thermodynamics associated with protonation equilibria were also discussed.

Complexes of the type trans-X2Pt (NH2CHRCOOH)2 (X = Cl, Br, J; R = H, CH3, CH(CH3)2, CH2OH) react with amino acid esters (GlyOCH3, GlyOC2H5) and N,N′-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide as coupling agent to form the corresponding dipeptide ester derivatives trans-X2Pt (NH2CHRC (O) NHCH2CO2R′) 2. In these reactions the metal ion acts as N-terminal protecting group. The infrared spectra of the new compounds are reported.

Abstract This work proposes a new method for the synthesis of N-borylated amino acids based on nucleophilic substitution reactions in the [B12H11IPh]– anion. Esters of glycine and L-phenylalanine were used as nucleophiles. The structure of the products has been determined by multinuclear NMR spectroscopy, IR spectroscopy, and ESI mass spectrometry.

A group of biologically active peptides were examined for possible favored chain positions exhibited by some of the 21 constituent amino acids as well as for the unusual occurrence of specific peptide linkages. High levels of significance were revealed for certain amino acid couplets when they were subjected to chi-square analyses.
