Abstract

A new method for the synthesis of N-protected α-amino aldehydes was developed. N- Protected α-amino amides of morpholine were easily prepared and then reduced with LiAlH4 to produce clean N-protected α-amino aldehydes. This new scheme of synthesis can be used with Boc, Z and Fmoc amino-protecting groups.
