Benzyl 4,6-dimethoxy-1,3,5-triazinyl carbonate as N-protecting reagent
A new active carbonate ester, benzyl 4,6-dimethoxy-1,3,5-triazinyl carbonate (Z-DMT), was prepared, and found to be a useful reagent for the introduction of benzyloxycarbonyl group into amines. Since Z-DMT is neither unstable nor irritating, it is practically useful.
