A new method is described for the synthesis of tert-butoxycarbonylaminoalkanenitriles 3 by dehydration of the corresponding carboxamides 2 (prepared in two steps from aminoalkanoic acids) in the presence of trifluoroacetic anhydride and triethylamine.N-Boc-aminoalkanenitriles 3 are easily converted to mono-N-Boc-alkanediamines 4 under mild conditions avoiding the cleavage of the N-protective group.The monoprotected alkanediamines 4 are useful tools in affinity chromatography.
