A tandem deprotection/coupling sequence is reported for solution-phase peptide synthesis in water under micellar catalysis conditions using the designer surfactant TPGS-750-M. Cbz deprotection followed by peptide coupling in the presence of COMU and 2,6-lutidine afforded polypeptides containing up to 10 amino acid residues. A broad scope characterizes this new technology. No epimerization has been detected. The associated E Factors, as a measure of "greenness" and known to be extremely high for peptide couplings, have been reduced to less than 10 due to the step-economy and minimal amounts of organic solvent needed for product extraction.
Heterogeneous catalysis with nickel-on-graphite (Ni/Cg): Reduction of aryl tosylates and mesylates

(Chemical Equation Presented) How would you reduce an aryl OH group? Traditionally, a palladium catalyst, a mild source of hydride, and a triflate derivative are used in solution. A more modern alternative is presented that is not only economical but heterogeneous as well. Nickel-on-graphite (Ni/C g) is introduced as a very inexpensive catalyst that reduces aryl tosylates and mesylates with excellent functional group tolerance.
KINETICS OF THE ALKALINE HYDROLYSIS OF SEVERAL N-BENZYLOXYCARBONYLDIPEPTIDE METHYL AND ETHYL ESTERS

The reaction rates of the alkaline hydrolysis of synthesized N-protected dipeptide methyl and ethyl esters were studied systematically.From the kinetic data the energies of activation, the pre-exponential factors and the reference values at 40 deg C were calculated.The rate of hydrolysis shows to be strongly dependent on the C-terminal amino acid in the sequence Gly >> Ala/Met/Phe > Leu >> Val/Pro.Surprisingly the N-terminal amino acid also exerts an effect, but in a different sequence.N-Terminal Phe in particular shows a relative accelerating effect.Remarkable is the significantly faster ester hydrolysis of glycine containing dipeptide ethyl esters in ethanol/water compared to the corresponding methyl esters in methanol/water.
