Abstract

Carboxypeptidase Y catalyzes in a biphasic system containing carbon tetrachloride and carbonate buffer the reaction ofZ-Phe-OMe and variousZ-andBoc-protected dipeptide methyl esters with Val-NH2 and Leu-NH2, respectively. This method has been applied to the synthesis of the corresponding N-protected tripeptide amides on a preparative scale. Using a substrate—nucleophile ratio of only 1:2 or 1:3 the peptide derivatives are obtained in yields of 56–97%.

Zusammenfassung

Carboxypeptidase Y katalysiert in einem Zweiphasensystem aus Tetrachlormethan und Carbonatpuffer die Reaktion vonZ-Phe-OMe und verschiedenenZ- undBoc-geschützten Dipeptidmethylestern mit Val-NH2 bzw. Leu-NH2. Nach diesem Verfahren werden die entsprechenden N-geschützen Tripeptidamide in präparativem Maßstab hergestellt. Bei einem Substrat-Nucleophil-Verhältnis von nur 1:2 oder 1:3 erhält man die Peptidderivate in Ausbeuten von 56–97%.
