Starting from N (alpha)-benzyloxycarbonyl-L-tyrosine(O-triflat) benzyl
ester, we have prepared enantiomerically pure 4-carboxyphenylalanine
and 4-methoxycarbonylphenylalanine derivatives using palladium (0) cat
alyzed carbonylation reactions. These unnatural amino acids were suita
bly protected and were used in solid-phase peptide synthesis using the
Fmoc/t-butyl approach. Copyright (C) 1996 Elsevier Science Ltd
