Solid-phase synthesis of dipeptides in low-water media was achieved using AOT ion-paired alpha-chymotrypsin solubilized in organic solvents. Multiple solvents and systematic variation of water activity, a(w) were used to examine the rate of coupling between N-alpha-benzyloxycarbonyl-L-phenylalanine methyl ester (Z-Phe-OMe) and leucine as a function of the reaction medium for both solid-phase and solution-phase reactions. In solution, the observed maximum reaction rate in a given solvent generally correlated with measures of hydrophobicity such as the log of the 1-octanol/water partitioning coefficient (log P) and the Hildebrand solubility parameter. The maximum rate for solution-phase synthesis (13 mmol/h g-enzyme) was obtained in a 90/10 (v/v) isooctane/tetrahydrofuran solvent mixture at an a(w) of 0.30. For the synthesis of dipeptides from solid-phase leucine residues, the highest synthetic rates (0.14-1.3 mmol/h g-enzyme) were confined to solvent environments that fell inside abruptly defined regions of solvent parameter space (e.g., log P > 2.3 and normalized electron acceptance index
