An Efficient and Epimerization Free Synthesis of C-Terminal Arylamides Derived from α-Amino Acids and Peptide Acids via T3P Activation
T3P (propylphosphonic anhydride) mediated conversion of N α-protected amino/peptide acids into thioacids
A general, mild and an efficient protocol, which makes use of T3P as an acid activator for the synthesis of N α-protected amino/peptide thioacids from corresponding acids in the presence of finely ground Na 2S as hydrosulfide ion donor is described. The protocol employed significantly increases the overall efficiency as the yield, reaction duration and purity of even sterically hindered amino acids. © 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved
