Abstract

Abstract Image

An efficient and cost-effective synthesis of N(α)-Boc2-N(β)-Cbz-2,3-diaminopropionic acid is reported. The synthesis starts from commercially available N(α)-Boc-Asp(OBn)-OH and employs a Curtius rearrangement to establish the β-nitrogen. Proper protection of the α-nitrogen is essential for the success of the Curtius rearrangement.
