ONE-POT CYCLIZATION OF A PEPTIDE BY THE USE OF (5-NITROPYRIDYL)DIPHENYL PHOSPHINATE: THE SYNTHESIS OF CYCLIC DECAPEPTIDE GRAMICIDIN S

Article abstract of DOI:10.1246/cl.1981.1367

One-pot synthesis of gramicidin S, cyclic decapeptide, was successfully achieved by treatment of the corresponding linear decapeptide with (5-nitropyridyl)diphenyl phosphinate, a new condensing reagent, in pyridine.Similarly, the phosphinic ester can be successfully employed in the Young test as well as syntheses of dipeptides.
