✦ Synopsis
Abstract
A number of activated esters of amino acid and peptide derivatives were reacted with various organic amines, including amino acid esters. The good yields obtained, and the mild reaction conditions make it seem possible that the activated ester method of acylation may be of good use in peptide synthesis. Aminolysis by aromatic amines and by secondary amines proceeds only slowly, but the reaction can be greatly facilitated through the catalytic action of strong tertiary amines and of acids.

## Abstract Whereas the usefulness of the tetrahydro‐pyranyl residue for the activation of esters is rather limited, it is of definite value for the temporary etherification of the hydroxyl groups of tyrosine and serine derivatives. The stability of tetrahydro‐pyranyl ethers towards alkali and the
