Efficient and mild microwave-assisted stepwise functionalization of naphthalenediimide with α-amino acids

Article abstract of DOI:10.1021/jo061195h

Microwave dielectric heating proved to be an efficient method for the one-pot and stepwise syntheses of sym-metrical and unsymmetrical naphthalenediimide derivatives of a-amino acids. Acid-labile side chain protecting groups are stable under the reaction
