title: A facile method for preparation of t-butyloxycarbonylamino acid p-nitroanilides.
abstract: A series of p-nitroanilides of t-butyloxycarbonylamino acids, including Boc-Trp, Boc-Asn, Boc-Gln, Boc-Ser(But), Boc-Thr(But), Boc-Asp(OBut), Boc-Lys(TFA), and Boc-His(Boc), were prepared conveniently by the mixed anhydride method using 2,2-dimethylpropanoic chloride (pivaloyl chloride). The products were obtained in 40-60% yields after purification by column chromatography on Sephadex LH-20. p-Nitroanilide of histidine was purified after deprotection of Boc-His(Boc)-pNA and obtained as H-His-pNA.2HCl.
