Abstract
In this paper a new catalyst-free and on-water method for protection of amines and amino acids with di-tert-butyl dicarbonate, 9-fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl chloride, acetyl chloride and tosyl chloride is presented. The protection can be realized in a few minutes under microwave-assistance. The reaction proved to be chemoselective in presence of ambident nucleophiles and water solution of di-tert-butyl carboxylic acid or chloride acid are the only wastes produced.
