Textbook Question
Chapter 29, Problem 29.64P
Another method to form a peptide bond involves a two-step process:
[1] Conversion of a Boc-protected amino acid to a p-nitrophenyl ester.
[2] Reaction of the p-nitrophenyl ester with an amino acid ester.
a. Why does a p-nitrophenyl ester “activate” the carboxy group of the first amino acid to amide formation?
b. Would a p-methoxy phenyl ester perform the same function? Why or why not?
