In a method for producing a peptide which comprises allowing an amino acid or peptide whose N-terminal amino or imino group has been protected to react with an N-hydroximide compound in the presence of a carbodiimide reagent to produce an N-hydroximide ester of an amino acid or peptide whose N-terminal group is protected and allowing thus produced N-hydroximide ester to react with an amino acid, peptide or derivative thereof whose N-terminal amino or imino group is free and optionally liberating the protected peptide into the free form, with the proviso that:
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
91 words
In a method for producing a peptide which comprises allowing an amino acid or peptide whose N-terminal amino or imino group has been protected to react with an N-hydroximide compound in the presence of a carbodiimide reagent to produce an N-hydroximide ester of an amino acid or peptide whose N-terminal group is protected and allowing thus produced N-hydroximide ester to react with an amino acid, peptide or derivative thereof whose N-terminal amino or imino group is free and optionally liberating the protected peptide into the free form, with the proviso that:
