Abstract

This report concerns the preparation of isomeric di-and tripeptides and derivatives of optically activc valine. A total of 36 compounds, dipeptides and their derivatives were prepared and characterized. These were all optically active. Twentyeight of these were not previously reported. High yields of peptides reported by Sheehan and Hess' O using N, N'- dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (subsequently abbreviated DCC) as the coupling agent, led us ...
