9-Fluorenylmethyl Chloroformate (Fmoc-Cl) as a Useful Reagent for the Synthesis of Pentafluorophenyl, 2,4,5-Trichlorophenyl, Pentachlorophenyl, p-Nitrophenyl, o-Nitrophenyl and Succinimidyl Esters of Nα-Urethane Protected Amino Acids.

Significance

Reactive amino acid phenyl esters have been used in dipeptide synthesis. However, the preparation of these esters is challenging due to racemization during the formation of the esters. In 2003, Tantry and Babu reported a method in which FmocCl is used to prepare reactive amino acid esters.

Comment

With the developed method, various reactive amino acid phenyl esters can be synthesized. The yields of the reactions are excellent, and no racemization is detected.
