Hydrochloric Acid → L-Alanyl-L-Glutamine

Participants

Reaction Steps

In a round bottom flask, add in 10 mmol each of carbobenzoxy-alanine (Z-Ala), triphenylphosphine and hexachloroethane respectively, and then 30 ml of toluene. After reacting at 0° C. for 3 h., drop it into a liquid mixture containing 25 mmol of glutamine and 20 ml of water. While reacting, regulate pH to 12 with sodium hydroxide, the reaction temperature is 15° C., the reaction time after dropping is 1.5 hours. And then acidify it to pH=2.5 with dilute hydrochloric acid. The aqueous phase, after concentrated, reacts with hydrogen gas in methanol at room temperature for 15 hours. The product L-Ala-L-Gln with a yield of 48% is obtained.
