Abstract

Abstract In this paper we describe the conversion of aryl peptidyl ketones, by a hydride reduction, into the corresponding peptide alcohols. The developed methodology is highly stereoselective and represents a very important application in peptide chemistry for obtaining peptide alcohols. It provides peptide alcohols with definite stereochemistry and in moderate, but satisfactory, yields. The reducing procedure, performed with NaBH 3 CN ...
