The aza-arginine precursor Fmoc-aza-Arg(Boc) 2 was synthesized starting from mono-protected hydrazines via an azaornithine precursor. This reaction path is shorter and more efficient than the reductive alkylation reaction.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
