N-t-butyloxycarbonyl-L-alanyl-L-proline benzyl ester (6.4 g, 17 m mole) was dissolved in methanol (100 ml). Hydrogen was passed for 3 hours through the solution in the presence of 10% palladium-carbon as a catalyst. The catalyst was removed by filtration and the solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure. The residue was crystallized in ethyl acetate-n-hexan to give N-t-butyloxycarbonyl-L-alanyl-L-proline (4.5 g, yield: 92.4%) having melting point of 155° to 157° C. and specific rotatory power [α]D25 =-90.5° (C=1, ethanol). The product gave a single spot on thin layer chromatography.
