[Graphics]Reaction of 96% formic acid with isocyanates derived from N-Fmoc alpha-amino acids/peptide acids catalyzed by DMAP has yielded a new class of stable formamides as crystalline solids which have been characterized by IR, H-1 NMR, C-13 NMR, and mass spectroscopy. Conversion of the side chain carboxylic acid of N-Fmoc-5-oxazolidinones of Asp/Glu into the N-formyl group also has been accomplished. The reaction is simple, mild, and high yielding.
