Reaction Steps

Succinimidyl-N-(S-benzoylmercaptoacetyl)glycinate is prepared according to the method described by R. F. Schneider et al, Journal of Nuclear Medicine 25 (2), 223-229 (1984). Glycyl-D-alanine in an amount of 250 mg is dissolved in 15 ml of water and the mixture is heated to 70° C. on a water bath. Meanwhile, 1 g of succinimidyl-N-(S-benzoylmercaptoacetyl)glycinate is dissolved in 40 ml of ethanol and the mixture is heated to 70° C. on a water bath. The solution of glycyl-D-alanine in water is added at once to the said ethanolic solution while stirring magnetically. The mixture is then refluxed for 1 hour. After cooling, the solution is evaporated to dryness under reduced pressure. The solid residue is shaken five times with 15 ml of acetone which is each time filtered off. Benzoylmercaptoacetylglycyl-D-alanine is precipitated from the collected filtrates by the addition of diethylether. The precipiate is filtered off and dried in vacuo over phosphorous pentoxide. In this manner 174 mg (yield 31.6%) of benzoylmercaptoacetylglycyl-D-alanine are obtained as a white crystalline powder.
