A sequential polyamino acid resin having a remarkably high molecular weight and special amino acid sequence as repeating unit in the resin can be produced by conducting polycondensation of a peptide active ester acid salt in an aprotic polar solvent in the presence of a tertiary amine and phosphorus pentoxide.

Producing sequential polyamino acid resin

This invention relates to a novel acylation process which comprises using as the acylating agent an o-hydroxy-substituted aromatic oxime ester represented by the general formula (I) ##STR1## and mixing said acylating agent with an amine substance represented by the general formula (III) ##STR2## to form a compound represented by the general formula (IV) ##STR3##

Process for acylation with novel acylating agent

A sequential polyamino acid resin having a remarkably high molecular weight and special amino acid sequence as repeating unit in the resin can be produced by conducting polycondensation of a dipeptide active ester acid salt in an aprotic polar solvent in the presence of a tertiary amine and phosphorus pentoxide.
