✦ Synopsis


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 acid, by means of regioselective amidomethylation with hydroxymethylphthalimide. AmAbz (1) contains three distinct functionalities which could be discriminated from one another. Firstly, Boc 2 O or Fmoc-OSu reacted selectively with the benzylamino group to give the monoprotected derivatives AmAbz(Boc) (8a) or AmAbz(Fmoc) (8b), respectively. The absence of acylation at the arylamino group was also [a]
