title: Side reaction in peptide synthesis. Formation of oxazolidone derivatives.
abstract: 2-Oxazolidone derivatives formed through an intramolecular reaction in the process of alkaline treatment of urethane-type N-protected peptides of which the N-terminal residues were Ser or Thr having unprotected hydroxyl groups. In oder to avoid this side reaction, the esters of these peptides could be cleaved by enzymatic hydrolyses instead of saponification.
