A highly efficient and environmentally more benign synthesis of Fmoc-N-methyl-α-amino acids from the corresponding Fmoc-amino acid, via intermediate 5-oxazolidinones, has been developed by using Lewis acid catalysis for the reductive opening of the oxazol

Both steps of the N-methylation of 9-fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl (Fmoc) amino acids were carried out in a microstructured tube-in-tube reactor equipped with a semipermeable Teflon AF 2400 membrane as the inner tubing. In the first step, gaseous formaldehyde

Chemical Equation Presented In this paper we describe a simple and efficient solution-phase synthesis of N-methyl-TV-nosyl-α-amino acids and N-Fmoc-N-methyl-α-amino acids. This represents a very important application in peptide synthesis to obtain N-methylated peptides in both solution and solid phase. The developed methodology involves the use of N-nosyl-α-amino acids with the carboxyl function protected as a phenacyl ester and the methylating reagent diazomethane. An important aspect of this synthetic strategy is the possibility to selectively deprotect the carboxyl function or alternatively both amino and carboxyl moieties by using the same reagent with a different molar excess and under mild conditions. Furthermore, the adopted procedure keeps unchanged the acid-sensitive side chain protecting groups used in Fmoc-based synthetic strategies.
