Papain-catalyzed esterification of N(α)-protected amino acids and dipeptides with ethanol in different organic systems
Braun,Kuhl
, p. 203 - 206 (2007/10/03)
The papain-catalyzed esterification of N(α)-protected amino acids and dipeptides with ethanol in mostly hydrophobic organic solvent systems containing low amounts of water has been investigated. The influence of various parameters, such as the amount of added water, reaction time, temperature and pH of added buffer, on the yield of ester was studied first on the model substrate Z-Ala. The optimized reaction conditions were then used for esterification of a series of N(α)-protected amino acids and dipeptides.

A new and convenient method for the preparation of pure enantiomers of α-amino acids is described.Industrial papain, catalyzes the synthesis of L-Z-amino acid ethyl esters in ethanolic medium, with good yields.These esters are obtained from DL-Z-amino acids with 100percent optical purity.Unreactive D-Z-amino acids are readily isolated from reaction medium.Physical constants of natural and xenobiotic L-Z-amino acid esters and D-Z-amino acids are described.
