The extension of the deprotection procedure of t-butylated carboxyl function using HNO3 in CH2Cl2 to a number of appropriately selected N-Z- derivatives of natural amino acid esters was investigated. The method was found to work effectively with alanine, phenylalanine, serine and the dipeptide aspartame, but the reagent brought about a number of unwanted transformations with tyrosine, methionine and tryptophan. Suitable protection of functions present in the latter ones allowed selective ester dealkylation, but tyrosine underwent unavoidable fast preliminary ring nitration. 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd.
Conventional Synthesis of Thymopoietin 32-36 (TP 5) Using the 1-(1-Adamantyl)-1-methyletoxycarbonyl Group

A synthesis of high yields of TP 5 is described.The α-amino functions were blocked by the acid-labile 1-(1-adamantyl)-1-methylethoxycarbonyl-(Adpoc)group.The Adpoc group is cleaved under mild acidolytic conditions with 3percent TFA in CH2Cl2 while the tert-butyl residues remained intact.This selective cleavage of the Adpoc group compared with the Boc and tert-butyl residues allows new strategies for the synthesis of large peptides. - Keywords: Adpoc, Amino acids, Thymopoietin
