General description

tert-Butyl bromoacetate serves as building blocks during the synthesis of model N-substituted oligoglycines (peptoids) containing an N-linked lactoside side-chain.

Application

tert-Butyl bromoacetate has been used in the synthesis of:
  • nitrilotriacetic acid end-functionalized polystyrene by atom transfer radical polymerization
  • building block for substituted t-butyl acetates
  • dihydropyranyl prelinker which is useful in polymer-assisted deprotection of oligosacchararides
  • collagenase inhibitor (S,S,R)-(-)-actinonin It is the starting reagent for the synthesis of N-Oxalylglycine derivatives.

Fused heteroarylprolines were prepared starting from 4-oxo-N-(PhF)proline benzyl ester (6, PhF = 9-(9-phenylfluorenyl)) following two approaches. First, allylation of oxoproline 6 followed by Wacker oxidation gave 1,4-dione 8 that was selectively converted to pyrroloproline 10b, pyrrolopyrrole 12, and pyridazinoproline 9.
