Abstract
Stable Fmoc-, Boc-, and Alloc-benzotriazoles react with various amino acids including unprotected serine and glutamic acid, in the presence of triethylamine at 20˚C to afford Fmoc-, Boc-, and Alloc-protected amino acids in very good yields free of dipeptide and tripeptide impurities. Fmoc-, and Alloc-Gly-Gly-OH dipeptides were prepared in excellent yields by N-acylation of glycylglycine.
