Abstract
N-Protected amino acid 4-phenolsulfonic acid derivative esters, such as 2, 6-dibromo-4- sulfophenyl ester sodium salt, 2, 6-dichloro-4-sulfophenyl ester potassium salt and 2-nitro-4- sulfophenyl ester sodium salt, were prepared. These esters are water-soluble active esters, and were applied for the synthesis of Leu-enkephalin.
