In this communication we introduce a promising masking agent --the vinyloxycarbonyl or VOC group --for the protection of amino functions in peptide chemistry. Amino acids are easily converted to their N-VOC derivatives (l\_) in dilute aqueous base using the known vinyl chloroformate' in dioxane as t

Abstract
We have found a novel way of protecting the hydroxyl function in hydroxy‐L‐amino acids, making use of the t‐butoxy group, which is readily split by acids, but not by bases.
This group is introduced by acid‐catalysed addition of isobutene to N‐acylated hydroxy‐L‐amino acids. The blocking group is easily removed at or below room temperature with trifluoroacetic acid without racemization and without breaking peptide bonds ^1,2^

Use of dimethylphosphinyl (Dmp) group as a side-chain phenolic OH protecting group of tyrosine in peptide synthesis was studied. The Dmp group is resistant to trifluoroacetic acid and hydrogenolysis and removed by fluoride ion or liquid HF. The formation of 3-benzyltyrosine from e-benzyl tyrosine in
## Abstract The value of several reagents capable of removing quantitatively the α‐amino protecting group of NPS‐aminoacyl‐ or peptidyl‐derivatives is assessed, by comparison with the reagents currently used, __i.e.__ hydrogen chloride, RS^–^‐nucleophiles or alkyl thioamides, especially with regard
