Abstract

A preparation of tert-butyl esters of amino acid is described that proceeds from protected amino acids and tert-butanol using anhydrous magnesium sulfate and an excess of boron trifluoride diethyl etherate as additional reagents. The method affords tert-butyl esters in good yields and a variety of amino acid side chains and substituents tolerate the reaction conditions.
