Abstract
The synthesis of δ-(L-α-aminoadipyl)-L-seryl-D-valine (LLD ASV), a naturally occuring congener of the well known tripeptide δ-(L-α-aminoadipyl)-L-cysteinyl-D-valine (LLD ACV) which is the linear precursor of isopenicillin N, penicillin N, cephalosporin C is described. An efficient method for producing the requisite α-monobenzyl ester of N-benzyloxycarbonyl-L-homoglutamic acid for subsequent condesation at the side chain δ-carboxy group is presented.
