Abstract

A sequential procedure has been developed whereby neutral amino acids 1 were tritylated via their corresponding trimethylsilyl esters 2 to afford, after mild hydrolysis, N-trityl amino acids 3 in high yields and purity. Hydroxy amino acids 4 were preferentially tritylated at the amino function by using either MeaSiCl or Me $ iClz (or Ph $ iC12) for temporary protection of the hydroxy and carboxyl groups. Finally, P-tritylhistidine (9c) was prepared in 97% ...
