A typical experimental procedure is described for the
synthesis of Z-Gly-Phe-Val-OMe. To a solution of
CDOP (77.0 mg, 0.310 mmol) in dichloromethane (1.3
mL) at 0°C under an argon atmosphere was added
Z-Gly-Phe (61.4 mg, 0.172 mmol) in dichloromethane

for 1 h at room temperature, complete consumption of
the Z-Gly-Phe was monitored by TLC, and then Val-
OMe·HCl (52.0 mg, 0.310 mmol) and a solution of
triethylamine

then iced brine (10 mL) was added. The mixture was
extracted with dichloromethane, and the organic layer
was washed with 1 M HCl, water and brine, and dried
over sodium sulfate. After filtration of the mixture and
evaporation of the solvent, the crude product was
purified by preparative TLC on silica gel (hexane/ethyl
acetate=1/3) to afford Z-Gly-Phe-Val-OMe (63.2 mg,

Thus, we developed a new reaction providing amides
and peptides in high yields via active intermediates,

was obtained in 77% yield when using DPC (1.1 equiv.)

reaction proceeds in the absence of basic promoters
such as tertiary amines or substituted pyridines, the
undesired racemization was completely prevented in the
segment coupling to afford oligopeptides. Further stud-
ies of the reaction using CDOP and other applications
of the present protocol for the syntheses of useful
complex molecules are now in progress.

2-hydroxypyridine N-oxide (1.00 g, 9.00 mmol) and
triphosgene (450 mg, 1.51 mmol) in dichloromethane (30
mL) at 0°C under an argon atmosphere was added
pyridine (1.5 mL). After the reaction mixture had been
stirred for 24 h at room temperature, the solvent was
evaporated. The residue was washed with ether three
times (each 30 mL) under an argon atmosphere. The
crude CDOP was dissolved in THF (50 mL) and the
suspension including pyridine·HCl salt was stirred for 2 h
at room temperature and then it was allowed to stand for
30 min. After filtration of the mixture under an argon
atmosphere and evaporation of the solvent at 45°C, THF

50 mL) was added to the yellow residue, and then the
above operation was repeated three times.

Dichloromethane (each 3 mL) and ether (each 6 mL)
were successively added to the resulted mixture and the
yellow solution was separated from white precipitates
under an argon atmosphere, and then the above opera-
tion was repeated twice. The remaining solvent was
removed under reduced pressure at 45°C to produce
CDOP (1.02 g, 91%) as a white solid.
