title: Tandem enzymatic resolution yielding L-alpha-aminoalkanedioic acid omega-esters.
abstract: The tandem action of serine protease (alpha-chymotrypsin or subtilisin BPN') and Aspergillus genus aminoacylase on racemic N-acetyl-alpha-aminoalkanedioic acid alpha,omega-diester produced L-alpha-aminoalkanedioic acid omega-ester in good yield and high optical purity. L-alpha-Aminosuberic acid omega-ester thus obtained was conveniently introduced into an oxytocin analog, [Asu1,6]oxytocin, by the solid-phase-synthesis and cyclization-cleavage method with oxime resin.
