We report that neopentylsulfonate esters are stable to a variety of st
andard organic reaction conditions and are easily cleaved to sulfonic
acids. We also discuss the use of N-Boc4-amino-2,2-dimethylbutyl-1-sul
fonate esters which may be cleaved under conditions that are suitable
far solid phase synthesis. Copyright (C) 1996 Elsevier Science Ltd
