A method for the in situ formation of N-trifluoroacetoxy succinimide (TFA-NHS) and its application in the formation of succinimidyl esters is presented. The developed method provides N-trifluoroacetyl and N-maleoyl amino acid succinimidyl esters from a variety of amino acids using a one-pot, high-yielding protocol. Investigations into the formation of an N-maleoyl amino acid succinimidyl ester supported the proposal of a revised reaction mechanism, and contributed to the optimization of the reaction conditions.
