title: Dynamic kinetic resolution of N-benzoyl-DL-amino acids via peptide bond forming reactions.
abstract: Dynamic kinetic resolution (DKR) was demonstrated in the carbodiimide-mediated couplings of N-benzoyl-DL-amino acids with L-amino acid esters: the yields of the D-L-peptides significantly exceeded 50% in some cases. N-Benzoyl-DL-t-leucine afforded the D-L-peptide almost exclusively (up to 96% yield) in the reaction with methyl L-prolinate, which is the most efficient DKR obtained in the field of amino acids and derivatives.
