Abstract

Weakly basic carbon nucleophiles add efficiently to a Fmoc-protected N,O-acetal. The new reactions shows the compatibility of the Fmoc protecting group with moderately basic reaction conditions and should serve as a model for the development of more efficient syntheses of Fmoc-protected amino acids.
