Abstract: A simple and concomitant esterification method for the synthesis of methyl, ethyl, t-butyl, benzyl, and 9-fluorenylmethyl esters of Fmoc- / Boc- / Z-β-homoamino acids employing Fmoc- / Boc- / Z-α- aminodiazoketones by Wolff rearrangement is described. The method offers good yield with purity.
