title: Synthesis of N-acylglutathione derivatives by dimethylaminopyridine catalysis.
abstract: A general procedure, involving 4-dimethylaminopyridine-catalysed acylation of the amino groups in the appropriate S-blocked glutathione, is reported for the preparation of N-blocked derivatives of glutathiones.
