Abstract
The synthesis is described of several peptides containing the sequence PheβMet. In order to limit enzymatic degradation and to restrict the number of possible conformations they were cyclized with variable ring size. Some unexpected sideβreactions were encountered during the synthesis of the linear precursors: partial cleavage of the active ester during removal of the Bocprotecting group, partial cleavage of the GlyβGly peptide bond during hydrazinolysis of an ester function and failure to obtain the pβnitrophenyl ester of BocβPheβMetβGlyβGlyβOH via the DCC method. Diphenyl phosphoroazidate was finally used for the cyclization of several linear peptides. Some results of behavioural activity and metabolic stability are mentioned.
