A novel 1-tert-butoxy-2-tert-butoxycarbonyl-1, 2-dihydroisoquinoline (BBDI)-catalyzed esterification of N-protected amino acids with nearly equimolar amounts of …
Ester moieties constitute major backbones, as well as important functional groups, in numerous natural products and synthetic compounds. 1 In addition, ester groups are also useful protecting groups for carboxylic acids in chemical synthesis. 2 Esterification is defined as the transformation of carboxylic acids or their derivatives into esters. A major problem that is frequently encountered in esterification technology arises from equilibration. To shift the equilibrium to the product ...
