Procedure
16.7 g of H-Leu-OMe and 46.0 g of Z-Asn-ONP are dissolved in 100 ml of freshly distilled dimethylformamide. The solution is allowed to stand for 19 hours at 25° C. Thereafter 1.2 liters of water are added and the crystalline precipitate is filtered off. The dipeptide derivative is dried at 40° C. in vacuo and is then twice recrystallised from methanol-water. Melting point 180°-181° C.; [α]D20 = +9° (c = 2.05 in chloroform).
