Abstract

A facile, scalable synthesis of α-methyl cysteine with three alternate thiol protecting groups (trityl, allyl and tert-butyl) is described. The thiol-protected amino acids are obtained in six steps from l -cysteine ethyl ester and are ideally suited for a range of natural product and solid-phase peptide synthesis applications.
