Abstract

The use of the 1-benzotriazolylearbonyl-(Bte)-group as an N-protecting and N-activating group in the synthesis of peptides was investigated. Removal of the Btc group from N-Btc-amino acids, their esters and amides under acidic conditions is possible, but has no advantages over removal of benzyloxyearbonyl-(Z)-group.
N-Btc-amino acid esters react with Z-amino acids or Z-dipeptides yielding Z-dipeptide and Z-tripeptide esters, respcetively. This process is aceompanied with separation of benzotriazole and C02. Advantages and disadvantages of this method of peptide bond formation are discussed.
