T3P® (propylphosphonic anhydride) mediated conversion of carboxylic acids into acid azides and one-pot synthesis of ureidopeptides

A general, mild, efficient, and environmentally benign protocol, which makes use of T3P® as an acid activating agent for the direct synthesis of acid azides from carboxylic acids is described. Further, the protocol is employed for the one-pot synthesis of α-ureidopeptides starting from N-protected α-amino acids.
