Abstract

An efficient, fast and convenient protocol for the synthesis of N-urethane-protected α-amino/peptide thioacids from their corresponding acids and Na₂S is mediated by EDC. The chemistry is compatible with a wide variety of urethane protecting groups, side-chain functionalities, and sterically hindered amino acids.
