Abstract

N-(t-Butoxycarbonyl) functionality plays a major role as the protective group for amines in the synthesis of unusual amino acids and also in peptide chemistry.1 This is due to its reasonable stability and easy removal under mild conditions. In the former case an amino group is generally introduced through azide and then reduced to amine followed by blocking prefer- ably as t-butyl carbamate. A few attempts have been made recently to achieve this transformation in ...
