In 1906, Hermann Leuchs, a student of Emil Fischer, discovered the class of N-Carboxy-aminoacid-anhydrides, also known as Leuch's anhydrides, or abbreviated NCAs. These compounds are, even 80 years after their discovery, valuable intermediates in organic synthesis due to their reactivity: NCAs polymerize with the elimination of carbondioxide to yield polypeptides, model compounds for proteins. They can be used as starting material for a variety of pharmaceutically interesting products and for synthetic polymers (fibres and films). Ralph Hirschmann demonstrated the step by step synthesis of ribonuclease utilizing NCAs as monomers. The author of this monograph, Hans R. Kricheldorf, University Hamburg, is, ... Read more
