Abstract

An overall stereoconservative protection and deprotection method of amino and carboxyl groups is presented. N-Phthaloyl N'-alkyl secondary amides of α-amino acids can be generated from corresponding N-phthaloyl amino acids by coupling reaction of N- alkylamines using mixed anhydride method. These secondary amides can be transformed by thermal rearrangement of intermediate nitrosoamides to O-alkyl esters with retention of ...
