This review provides a broad perspective of the uses of amino acid fluorides in the synthesis of peptides and a wide range of other molecules including peptidomimetics, heterocycles and biologically active molecules.
A protocol employing FeCl3 in the presence of glacial AcOH is described for the less nucleophilic aniline and its variants, bromoacetic acid and sterically hindered amino acids.
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.
