4-Amino-3-(aminomethyl)benzoic acid (1) (AmAbz) is a novel unnatural amino acid with promise in applications as a building block for the synthesis of peptidomimetics and as a scaffold for combinatorial chemistry. It was efficiently synthesized in three steps (63% overall yield) from 4-aminobenzoic a

Abstract
We have developed a simple and convenient synthetic strategy for the preparation of tetrahydropyranyl, 4‐methoxytetrahydropyranyl, and tetrahydrofuranyl ethers of 2′‐deoxynucleosides, which are useful building blocks for nucleic acid chemistry. Enzymatic benzoylation provides an efficient alternative for protecting the 5′‐hydroxy group of the parent nucleosides in a regioselective manner. Subsequently, tetrahydropyranylation and tetrahydrofuranylation of the 2′‐deoxynucleosides at the 3′‐hydroxy group were accomplished with p‐toluensulfonic acid, MgBr~2~, or camphorsulfonic acid as catalysts. Deprotection of the 5′‐O‐benzoyl group furnished 3′‐O‐acetal‐protected 2′‐deoxynucleosides. The three‐step process is expected to enable the large‐scale synthesis of protected nucleosides.
