Abstract:

The synthesis process of N-acetyl-aspartyl-glutamate (NAAG) was studied, in which L-aspartic acid was used as the raw material, and the dipeptide was first prepared by esterification，acylation and the reaction with L-glutamic acid, and then the product NAAG was finally obtained by hydrolyzation and purification.The product and the intermediate were analyzed and identified by melting point measuring, elemental analysis, polarimeter and IR analysis.The effects of mixture ratio of raw materials, reaction temperature and reaction time were investigated.The results showed that the total yield was 50.02% when the esterification temperature was controlled at 20℃, esterification time 10 h, acylation temperature 70℃, acylation time 2 h, and DCC was used as the addition reagent to synthesize dipeptide.The hydrolization temperature was 60℃, the hydrolization time was 4 h.The product was purified by ion-exchange resin.The purity detected by HPLC was 97.5%.
