A new soluble poly(ethylene glycol)-supported protecting group of the SES (silylethylsulfonyl) type has been prepared and utilized in the synthesis of cyclic amino esters by ringclosing metathesis (RCM). Acidic cleavage from the support was performed to recover the fully deprotected amino acids. More conventional deprotection conditions with fluoride an-
