Abstract

N-(Coumarin-3-ylcarbonyl)benzotriazole has been coupled with free amino acids, N-terminal-protected lysines and dipeptides to afford fluorescent amino acids and dipeptides (76-89% yield) with retention of original chirality. N α- and N ε-Coumarin-labeled­ lysines are obtained by simple, two-step procedures. N α-Cbz-N ε-(Coumarin-3-ylcarbonyl)-l-lysine is demonstrated to be an optically active fluorescent marker for labeling amino acids in solution-phase syntheses.
