Abstract

Despite of the extensive study for peptide synthesis, DCC-mediated esterification is left still unclear. Therefore, DCC-and DCC/HOBt-mediated reactions of 3-phenylpropionic acid (1) with benzyl alcohol were carried out under several mechanistic considerations. Further, in order to determine the reactivities of the so-called 'active esters' compounds changing the substituents bearing carbonyl and related derivatives group for the purpose of the ...
