PLURIPOTENTIAL AMINO ACIDS I. (L)-p-DIHYDROXYBORYLPHENYLALANINE (L-Bph) AS A PRECURSOR OF L-Phe AND L-Tyr CONTAINING PEPTIDES; SPECIFIC TRITIATION OF L-Phe-CONTAINING PEPTIDES AT A FINAL STEP IN THE SYNTHESIS

p-Dihydroxyborylphenylalanine has been resolved and incorporated into simple di and tripeptides; treatment of these with hydrogen peroxide or diammino silver salts results respectively in formation of tyrosine and phenylalanine peptides.
