+-02CCF3'R'= Tcp c matographic purification of dipeptide 3. A relatively poor yield (27 7%) resulted when Boc-L-Leu-L-Pro-OMe was deprotected with trifluoroacetic acid-methylene chloride (1: l) and coupled with the mixed carbonic anhydride derivative of Boc-L-Val to afford tripeptide 5. Cleavage of the Boc group with dry ethereal hydrogen chloride gave L- Val-L-Leu-Pro-OMe (6) eHCl in 98% yield. Condensation of L-Leu-L-Pro-OMe. HC1 with ...
