Abstract

Unexpected cleavage of the macrocyclic ring of secondary azacrown ethers when interacting with the Aib8 (Aib = α-aminoisobutyric acid) oxazolone indicates the possibility for a new mechanism of peptide racemization due to transformations of the oxazolones formed from the N-derivatives of α-amino acids in peptide synthesis.
