Mixed anhydrides of N-substituted aminoacids or peptides with alkylcarbonic acids are formed at low temperature under anhydrous conditions and allowed to react with aminoacid or peptide esters or with aminoacid salts to give good yields of the corresponding peptides or higher peptides. Choice of the alkylcarbonic acid used is not critical and the reaction is not complicated by the formation of unfavorable by-products. The optimum conditions for the reaction havebeen determined and applied in the preparation of a series of peptides esters. No racemization of optically-active materials hasbeen observed by this method.In a continuation of our investigations on the use of mixed anhydrides as acylating agents for the synthesis of peptides, 1 an examination was made of the behavior of mixed anhydrides of N-substituted aminoacids and alkylcarbonic acids. These anhydrides, or acylalkylcarbonates, were of particular interest since theoretically they offered the advantage that, in any predominantly amide-forming reaction, the only by-products formed would be carbondioxide and an alcohol derived from the alkylcarbonic acid used; ie
