ACTIVATION OF A CARBOXY GROUP BY DIALKYL PYROCARBONATES. SYNTHESIS OF SYMMETRICAL ANHYDRIDES AND ARYL ESTERS OF N-PROTECTED AMINO ACIDS USING DI-tert-BUTYL PYROCARBONATE AS CONDENSING REAGENT

Article abstract of DOI:10.1007/BF00575762

It has been shown that di-tert-butyl pyrocarbonate can be used as a condensing reagent in the production of anhydrides and some aryl esters of carboxylic acids.The synthesis of anhydrides and of phenyl, p-nitrophenyl, β-naphtyl, and quinolin-8-yl esters of N-protected amino acids is described.
