Abstract
Complexes of the type trans-X2Pt (NH2CHRCOOH)2 (X = Cl, Br, J; R = H, CH3, CH(CH3)2, CH2OH) react with amino acid esters (GlyOCH3, GlyOC2H5) and N,N′-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide as coupling agent to form the corresponding dipeptide ester derivatives trans-X2Pt (NH2CHRC (O) NHCH2CO2R′) 2. In these reactions the metal ion acts as N-terminal protecting group. The infrared spectra of the new compounds are reported.
