Hydrochloric Acid → Boc-Arg-Pro-Gly-Pro

Participants

Reaction Steps

4.76 g (6.5 mmol) of Boc-Arg(NO2)-Pro-Gly-Pro-OBzl were dissolved in 100 ml of methanol; then 1 ml 1N hydrochloric acid and 4.67 g of catalyst, viz. 10% palladium oxide on neutral aluminum oxide, were added, and hydrogenation in the stream of dry hydrogen at room temperature under 1 atm. was conducted for 6 hours. Then, the catalyst was filtered off and washed on the filter with methanol. Pooled filtrate was evaporated to dryness. The residue was precipitated with ether from the absolute methanol. Then, it was dried under vacuum, while desiccant was changed several times.
