Abstract

Abstract Both steps of the N-methylation of 9-fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl (Fmoc) amino acids were carried out in a microstructured tube-in-tube reactor equipped with a semipermeable Teflon® AF 2400 membrane as the inner tubing. In the first step, gaseous formaldehyde was passed through the inner membrane to effect the acid-catalyzed conversion of the Fmoc amino acids into the corresponding N-Fmoc oxazolidinones. In the second step, liquid– ...
