摘要:
The utilization of N-trifluoroacetyl (TFA)-alpha-amino acid N-hydroxysuccinimide ester (OSu) derivatives, a promising acylating agent with high storage stability, is reported for Friedel Crafts acylation into arenes and N-heterocycles. The reaction between TFA-Phe-OSu derivatives and arenes afforded inter- and intramolecular products. TFA-Tyr-OSu derivatives, which possess hydroxyl substituent in the aromatic moiety of phenylalanine, afforded only intermolecular product with benzene. The heterocyclic TFA-Pro-OSu also shows relatively high reactivity toward acylation.
