N-acylbenzotriazole mediated microwave assisted synthesis of protected and novel unprotected ferrocenoylamidoamino acids

Abstract

In this study, crystalline and chirally stable carboxyl-protected and novel unprotected N-ferrocenoyl amino acid derivatives of Ser, Cys, Ala, Phe, Trp, Asp and Asn have been prepared. These amino acids undergo substitution reaction with 1-(ferrocenylcarbonyl)-1H-benzotriazole, 1, in partially aqueous media under microwave irradiation
