The invention provides a preparation method of polypeptide, which comprises the following steps: dissolving a compound as shown in a formula I, a compound as shown in a formula II, pivaloic anhydride, an alkaline substance and N-methylimidazole in an
organic solvent to obtain a reaction
mixed solution, reacting at 15-80 DEG C for 3-10 hours, performing post-treatment on the obtained reaction solution to obtain a
dipeptide compound as shown in a formula III, and performing
ester hydrolysis on the
dipeptide compound as shown in the formula III to obtain the polypeptide. The preparation method comprises the following steps: dissolving a compound as shown in a formula I in an
organic solvent to obtain a
dipeptide compound only containing an Fmoc
protecting group, dissolving the dipeptide compound only containing the Fmoc
protecting group, a compound as shown in a formula II, pivaloic anhydride, an alkaline substance and N-methylimidazole in the
organic solvent, reacting at 15-80 DEG C for 4-10 hours, and post-treating the obtained
mixed solution to obtain the polypeptide. According to the invention, pivaloic anhydride is used as a condensing agent, the structure is simple, the reaction is safe, cheap and non-toxic, only a catalytic amount of N-methylimidazole is needed in the reaction, a large amount of
nitrogen-containing by-products are not generated, and purification is easy; various
amino acid side chains can be tolerated, and
racemization isomerization cannot occur in the reaction; environment-friendly solvents such as
ethyl acetate are used, and the
reaction conditions are mild.
