Patent number: 4564471Abstract: The invention provides a novel and efficient method for the elimination of protecting groups, e.g. benzyloxycarbonyl group, from a protected amino acid, peptide or derivative thereof having at least one functional group protected by a protecting group, e.g. a lower alkyl ester of N-benzyloxycarbonyl-.alpha.-L-aspartyl-L-phenylalanine by catalytic hydrogen reduction to produce free amino acid, peptide or derivative thereof. In contrast to the conventional procedures in which the reaction is carried out in a solvent dissolving both the starting compound and the product compound or a solvent dissolving the starting compound but not dissolving the product compound, the inventive method utilizes a binary two-phase reaction medium composed of water and an organic solvent not freely miscible with water such as toluene.Type: GrantFiled: September 17, 1980Date of Patent: January 14, 1986Assignees: Ajinomoto Co., Inc., Toyo Soda Mfg. Co., Ltd., Sagami Chem. Rsch. Cntr.Inventors: Katsumi Sugiyama, Hideo Takeda, Hiroko Sato, Yuji Nonaka, Kiyotaka Oyama, Masashige Kubo

Patent number: 4309341Abstract: A method for purifying an .alpha.-L-aspartyl-L- phenylalanine lower alkyl ester containing impurities. The .alpha.-L-aspartyl-L-phenylalanine lower alkyl ester is brought into contact with a Cl-type anion exchange resin in an aqueous medium to have the impurities adsorbed by the anion exchange resin. The impurities contained in the .alpha.-L-aspartyl-L-phenylalanine lower ester, particularly diketopiperazine and .alpha.-L-aspartyl-L-phenylalanine are selectively and easily removed. The desired matter thus can be easily recovered and disposal of waste liquid, etc. can also be carried out without difficulty.Type: GrantFiled: April 9, 1980Date of Patent: January 5, 1982Assignees: Sagami Chemical Research Center, Ajinomoto Co., Inc., Toyo Soda Mfg.
