摘要:
A new synthetic strategy to alkylate amino groups under mild conditions has been developed. It utilizes only 4 angstrom molecular sieves as base in order to promote the N-alkylation reaction, in presence of the appropriate alkyl halide. The methodology was validated by the simple and efficient side-chain N-alkylation of o-Ns-protected Fmoc-amino acid. One of them was introduced as building block into a peptide sequence, thus allowing the preparation of site-specific alkylated peptide molecules.
