H-Gly-Leu-Met-Nh2 HCl → BocPro-DPhe-Phe-Gly-Leu-MetNH2

Participants

Reaction Steps

Condensation of BocPro-DPhe-PheNHNH2 (1.98 g.) and HGly-Leu-MetNH2 hydrochloride salt (Example 7, 1.3 g.) by the acyl azide method (Yajima et al., Chem. Pharm. Bull., vol. 19, p. 1900, 1971) gave BocPro-DPhe-Phe-Gly-Leu-MetNH2 in 82% yield. De-t-butoxycarbonylation of BocPro-DPhe-Phe-Gly-Leu-MetNH2 (1.8 g.) using hydrogen chloride in acetic acid gave HPro-DPhe-Phe-Gly-Leu-MetNH2, which was isolated as the amorphous white solid phosphate (1:1) salt monohydrate in 59% yield.
