Significance

Reactive amino acid phenyl esters have been used in peptide synthesis. The authors developed a method where amino acid chlorides and inorganic base are used to prepare reactive amino acid esters in a two-phase system.

Comment

With the inorganic base NaHCO3, various reactive amino acid phenyl esters can be synthesized without using classical peptide-coupling reagents. The yields of the reactions were moderate to good.
