Protecting groups are used in synthesis when a starting material
contains multiple reactive sites. This neutralizes one of the
reactive sites and makes it inert to the reaction conditions. The
protecting group can then be selectively removed to re-form the
reactive site. Analyze the molecule below and answer the three
questions.
Identify the protecting group.
Which reagent was used to install this protecting group?
Which reagent is used to remove the protecting group?
H3C CH3 Si CH3 CH3 CH3
Amino acids are useful building blocks for peptide synthesis. However, due to several reactive sites, protecting groups are used to direct regioselective synthesis. Below is the structure of an amino acid with a protecting group. H2N COOH Identify the protecting group. Which reagent was used to install this protecting group? Which reagent is used to remove this protecting group? Fmoc Benzyl chloroformate Boc 9-Fluorenylmethyl chloroformate amide 0 O O O TFA Piperidine DCC H2, Pd/C acetal Di-tert-butyl dicarbonate Acetic anhydride...
