✦ Synopsis
The reaction of NCA's with some amino acids having a nucleophilic functional group on the side chain was studied in a heterogeneous reaction medium (acetonitrile-water). Glutamic acid and aspartic acid, having a free carboxyl group on the side chain, were successfully used to synthesize oligopeptides without interactions of the 7-and pcarboxyl group with NCA's. Two products were obtained by the reaction of NCA with L-lysine, which contains a free amino group on the side chain. -Protected lysine was used to prepare orpeptides as a nucleophile in the reaction. No racemisation was observed in the synthesis of peptides by the NCA method in the heterogeneous solvent system. Oligopeptides with some polar side chains were synthesized by the NCA method. c Data of Rowlands and Young.6 d Data of Smith and Slonim.7 e Data of Hofmann and Johr.* f Data of Sachs and Brand.O
