A. Loffet et Hx. Zhang, ALLYL-BASED GROUPS FOR SIDE-CHAIN PROTECTION OF AMINO-ACIDS, International journal of peptide & protein research, 42(4), 1993, pp. 346-351
Allyl and allyloxycarbonyl groups are used for the side-chain protecti
on of amino acids. The protecting groups may be selectively cleaved us
ing the reagent HSnBu3 under palladium catalysis. The preparation of B
oc and Fmoc series of protected amino acids is described. (C) Munksgaa
