Improved Preparation of N-(Phenylisopropyloxycarbonyl) Amino Acids from the Corresponding Fluoroformate.

Abstract
2-Phenylisopropyl fluoroformate was prepared from the corresponding alcohol and carbonyl chloride fluoride. Although rather labile even at 0.degree. C, this new derivative seems an attractive intermediate for the preparation of N-(2-phenylisopropyloxycarbonyl) amino acids for peptide synthesis. This is demonstrated for a number of different amino acids.
