organic, for example carboxylic acids such as acetic acid, ether~ such as tetrahydrofuran or dioxane, amides such as DMF, halogenated hydrocarbon~ such as dichloro-methane, and in addition also alcohols such as methanol, ethanol or isopropanol and also water.
In addition, mixtures of the abovementioned solvents are suitable. TFA is preferably used in an excess without addition of a further solvent, perchloric acid in the form of~a mixture of acetic acid and 70 %
perchloric acid in the ratio 9:1. The reaction temper-atures for the cleavage are preferably betwe~n about 0 and about 50, preferably between 15 and 30- (room temperature).
The BOC group c~n be removed e.g. preferably using 40 % TFA ~n dichloromethane or with about 3 to 5 N
HCl in dioxane at 15-30-,-the F W group using an about 5- to 20 % solution of dimethylamine, diethylamine or piperidine in DMF at 15-30-. ~emoval of the DNP group is carried out e.g. al80 using an about 3 to 10 % ~olution 1 20 of 2-mercaptoethanol in DNF/w~ter st 15-30-.

In order to promote intramolecular cycliz~tion before intermolecul~r peptide bonding, it is preferable to woxk in dilute solut~ons (dilution prlnciple).
Inste~d of II, suit~ble react~ve deriv~tives of these substances can also be employed in the reactlon, e.g. those in which re~ctive groups ~re ~ntermedl~tely blocked by protect$ng groups. The ~mlno ~cid deriv-atives II c~n be used e.g. ln the form of their ~ctiv~ted 1 20 esters which ~re prefer~bly formed in situ, e.g. by ~ddition of HOBt or N-hydroxysuccinimide.
Tha at~rting m~teri~lo of the for~ul~ II are, ~

It is al80 possible to oxidize a thioether group to a sulfoxide group or sulfone group, ~n particular a group -NH-CHR3-Co- - ~et to a group -NH-CHR3-Co-~.~ . . . . .

, = Met(0) or ~et(oz)~ e.g. by passing air into a solution of the compound of the formula I (-NH-CHR3-Co- = Met) in acetonitxile/water at temperatures between 0 and 30-. The thioether can also be oxidized with H202. The sulfoxide is thus predominantly obtained at 20~ in methanol using the calculated amount of oxidizing agent, and the sulfone is predominantly obtained at 50-, on the other hand, using an excess of the oxidizing agent.
Conversely, a sulfoxide group (e.g. in I, -NH-CHR3-Co- = Met(0)) can be reduced to give a thioether group (e.g. in I, -NH-CHR3-Co- = Met), e.g. usin~ NH,I in aqueous ~A at temperatures between -10 and 25-.
A base of the formula I can be converted into the appropriate acid addition salt using an acid. Suitable acids for this reaction are in particul~r those which yield physiologically accep Wble salts. Inorganic acids can thus be used, e.g. sulfuric acid, nitric acid, hydrohalic acids such as hydrochloric acid or hydrobromic acid, phosphoric acids such a8 orthophosphoric acid and sulfamic acid, and in addition organic acids, in par-ticular aliphatic, alicyelic, araliphstic, aro~tic or heterocycllc mono- or polybasie carbo ylie, sulfonie or sulfurie aeld~, e.g. for ie aeid, acetie aeld, propionle aeid, pivallc aoid, diethrlacetic acid, malonic acid, succinic ~cid, pin~lic acid, fum~ric ~cid, ~aleic acid, lactic-acid, t~rt~ric acid, ~alic acid, benzoic acid, salicylic ~cid, 2- or 3-phffnylpropionic acld, citr~c aeid, glueonie aeid, a~eorbie aeid, nieotinie ~eid, i~onieotinie aeid, methane- or eth~ne-ulfonic acid, eth~nedlsulfonic aeid, 2-hydroxyeth~nesulfonlc acid, benzenesulfonie aeid, p-toluene~ulfonie aeid, naphthal-ene-mono- and -di~ulfoni~ aeid~, and laurylsulfurie aeid.
Salt~ with phy~iologieally unaeceptable acid~, e.g.
picrates, can be u~ed for the i~olation and/or purifica-tion of the eompounds of the formul~ I.
