Abstract
Fmoc‐β^2^hSer(^t^Bu)‐OH was converted to Fmoc‐β^2^hSec(PMB)‐OH in five steps. To avoid elimination of HSeR, the selenyl group was introduced in the second last step (Fmoc__‐β__^2^hSer(Ts)‐OAll→Fmoc‐β^2^hSec(PMB)‐OAll). In a similar way, the N‐Boc‐protected compound was prepared. With the β^2^hSe‐derivatives, 21 β^2^‐amino‐acid building blocks with proteinogenic side chains are now available for peptide synthesis.
