“…[15] Our group has reported the preparation of isocyanates derived from Fmoc-a-amino acids (i.e., N a -Fmoc-amino alkyl isocyanates [16] ) obtained by the Curtius rearrangement of N a -Fmoc amino acid azides. [17] These key intermediates were employed in the synthesis of dipeptidyl ureas, oligo-a-peptidyl ureas, [18] retro-inverso peptides [19] employing Goldschmidt-Wick type reaction, N-formamides, [20] and isonitriles, [21] which are useful synthons in multicomponent reactions. With an aim to demonstrate newer applications of Fmoc-a-amino alkyl isocyanates, we envisaged the synthesis of selenocarbamates by the coupling of isocyanate with an appropriate selenating agent and alkyl=aryl halide.…”
