N-Nosyl-α-amino acid methyl esters are methylated quantitatively with diazomethane. After proper deprotection of the amino function by treatment with the reagent system mercaptoacetic acid/sodium methoxide, the obtained N-methyl amino acid methyl esters are coupled with N-Fmoe amino acid chlorides to afford the corresponding dipeptides. The obtained products do not show any detectable extent of racemization by 1H NMR and HPLC.

Abstract
N-Nosyl-α-amino acid methyl esters are methylated quantitatively with diazomethane. After proper deprotection of the amino function by treatment with the reagent system mercaptoacetic acid/sodium methoxide, the obtained N-methyl amino acid methyl esters are coupled with N-Fmoe amino acid chlorides to afford the corresponding dipeptides. The obtained products do not show any detectable extent of racemization by 1H NMR and HPLC.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
