VALIDITY OF METHOXYCARBONYL AS AN <i>N</i>-PROTECTING GROUP IN PEPTIDE SYNTHESIS: NEW SYNTHESIS OF MSH-RELEASE INHIBITING FACTOR

Abstract

Abstract N-Methoxycarbonyl (MOC)-amino acids regenerate the parent amino acids by treatment with dimethyl sulphide and methanesulphonic acid. Synthesis of MSH-Release Inhibiting Factor was accomplished using MOC-amino acids and applying the above mentioned deblocking method.
