Abstract

The use of Boc2O as a coupling agent in the homologation of N-urethane protected-α-amino acid to its β-homomers by the Arndt–Eistert method is described. The homologation gives good yields without racemization. The use of Boc2O as a coupling agent not only allows the easy scale up of the process but also it is cost effective.
