Water → Gamma-glutamyl-valyl-glycine

Participants

Reaction Steps

Then, Z-Glu(Val-Gly-OBzl)-OBzl (6.20 g, 10.03 mmol) was suspended in ethanol (200 ml), and 10% palladium/carbon (1.50 g) was added. A reduction reaction was performed at 55° C. for 5 hours under a hydrogen atmosphere. During the reaction, a total amount of 100 ml of water was gradually added. The catalyst was removed by filtration using a Kiriyama funnel, and the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure to a half volume. The reaction mixture was further filtered through a membrane filter, and the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was dissolved in a small volume of water, and ethanol was added to deposit crystals, and the crystals were collected by filtration, and dried under reduced pressure to obtain a white powder of γ-Glu-Val-Gly (2.85 g, 9.40 mmol).
