Summary

DAST [(diethylamino)sulfur trifluoride] has shown to be an excellent alternative fluorinating agent for synthesis of Fmoc-amino acid fluorides. The use of DAST is advantageous relative to other fluorinating agents, such as cyanuric fluoride, since handling and isolation of the acid fluorides are facile.
