Ar. Katritzky et al., SYNTHESIS OF 1-(T-BUTOXYCARBONYL)BENZOTRIAZOLE AND 1-(P-METHOXYBENZYLOXYCARBONYL)BENZOTRIAZOLE AND THEIR USE IN THE PROTECTION OF AMINO-ACIDS, Synthetic communications, 27(9), 1997, pp. 1623-1630
Benzotriazol-1-ylcarbonyl chloride, generated from benzotriazole and p
hosgene, reacts with t-butyl alcohol and p-methoxybenzyl alcohol to gi
ve 1-(t-butoxycarbonyl)benzotriazole (4) and 1-(p-methoxybenzyloxycarb
onyl)benzotriazole (5), respectively in good yields. The synthetic uti
lity of reagents 4 and 5 is shown by effective amino protection in phe
nylalanine and phenylglycine.
