An efficient, chemoselective and practical protocol for N-Boc protection of amines using di-tertbutoxypyrocarbonate $(Boc)_{2}O$ in presence of Indion 190 resin. Resin was easily separated from the reaction mixture by filtration and reused in subsequent reactions without any apparent loss of activity. Simple workup, mild condition, short reaction time and high yield are some of the striking features of the present process.

N-(tert-Butoxycarbonyl)-O-(dimethythiophosphono)-L-tyrosine (6) and N-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)-O-(dicyanoethylthiophosphono)-L-tyrosine (15) were prepared as intermediates for the synthesis of thiophosphotyrosine-containing peptides. The reactivity and suitability of two compounds for the solid phase or solution phase peptide synthesis utilizing t-Boc chemistry were examined.

In this study, we attempted to prepare compounds with heterocyclic replacements for metabolically unstable esters of benzopyranyl indole-2-carboxylic esters, which showed good in vitro and in vivo cardioprotective efficacies possibly through the opening of mitochondrial ATP-sensitive potassium channel ($K_{ATP}$). Initially, we tried to construct indolin-2-yl-heterocycles using unprotected indoline-2-carboxylic acid, but the cyclization was proceeded with oxidation of the indoline ring to the indole, which didn't react with benzopyranyl epoxide. Thus we introduced N-Boc group to deplete the electron density of the indoline ring. We successfully prepared various indolin-2-yl-heterocycles by the cyclization of the building blocks including carboxamide, ${\beta}$-hydroxy amide, hydrazide, nitrile starting from N-Boc-indoline-2-carboxylic acid.

trans-Metanicotine, a subtype (${\alpha}_4{\beta}_2$)-selective ligand for neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptor, is under clinical phase for Alzheimer's disease. An efficient synthetic route for ($\pm$)-methyl-(1-aryl-4-pyridin-3-yl-but-3-enyl)-am ices, derivatives of tracts-metanicotine, was explored. Allylation reaction of aryl aldimines with allylmagnesium bromide in THF gave ($\pm$)-methyl-(1-aryl-but-3-enyl)-amines. Protection of the amines with the Boc group and following Heck reaction of the N-Boc amines with 3-bromopyridine gave ($\pm$)-methyl-(1-aryl-4-pyridin-3-yl-but-3-enyl)-carbamic acid tert-butyl esters. Deprotection of the N-Boc group in aqueous 1 N-HCI solution gave the titled amines in good yields. Thus, trans-metanicotine analogues modified at the ${\alpha}-position$ of the methylamino group with amyl groups were obtained in 5 steps.

Facile methods are reported for the synthesis of optically pure derivatives of (2S,3R)-3-amino-2-hydroxy-4-(4'-hydroxyphenyl)b utanoic acid. To avoid troublesome synthesis of O-benzyl-N-Boc-D-tyrosine, without the protection of phenolic OH group of tyrosine N-Boc-D-tyrosine methyl ester was reduced with DiBAL to the aldehyde. The aldehyde was converted via the cyanohydrin to (2S,3R)-3-amino-2-hydroxy-4-(4'-hydroxyphenyl)butanoic acid (AHpHBA). The mixture of diastereomers was converted to the corresponding Boc-AHpHBA methyl ester derivatives and separated by chromatography over silica gel. Optically active (2S,3R)-AHpHBA was used to synthesize aminopeptidase inhibitors.

A new strategy using protection-deprotection chemistry was used to prepare branched polymers using the ATRP method only. Among the several monomers with different protecting groups, vinyl benzyl t-butyloxy carbonate (VBt-BOC) and 4-methyl styrene (4-MeSt) could be polymerized successfully to form backbones using the ATRP method in a controlled fashion. The protected groups in the backbones were converted to alkyl bromides and used as initiating sites for branch formation. The benzyl t-butyloxy carbonate groups in the backbones containing VBt-BOC units were first deprotected to benzyl alcohol by trifluoroacetic acid, then converted to benzyl bromide by reacting them with triphenylphosphine/carbon tetrabromide. The benzyl bromide groups in the backbones containing 4-MeSt units could be generated by bromination of the methyl groups using N-bromosuccinimide/benzoyl peroxide. The structures of the prepared polymers were well-controlled, as evidenced by the controlled molecular weight as well as the narrow and unimodal molecular weight distribution.

N-(tert-Butoxycarbonyl)-O-(dicyanoethylthiophosphono)-L-tyrosine(7), the key intermediate for the synthesis of thiophosphotyrosine-containing peptide derivat ives, was prepared. For the phosphorylation, we used t-Boc-tyrosine and phosphoramidite in the presence of 1H-tetrazol. For the protection of thiophosphate moiety, cyanoethyl protecting group was used. Thiophosphotyrosine-containing peptides could be used as tools for the elucidation of mechanism of signal transduction pathway and also prepared as PTK inhibitors, PTPase inhibitors and cytosolic protein binding blockers. It may be contributed for the development of potential anticancer agents.
