Significance
Peptide-bond formation is extremely important in peptide chemistry. In 1955, Bodánszky used active nitrophenyl esters to form peptide bonds. Before this work, only nonactive esters, such as methyl or ethyl esters, were used in peptide-bond formation.

Comment
The author gave several examples dipeptide synthesis from active amino acid esters. Nitrophenyl esters gave much better results than thiophenyl esters.
