Abstract

We report modular syntheses of asparagine-derived hemiamidals, amidals, and protected variants via their corresponding isocyanates. Stability studies of the hemiamidals provide key insights for the application of these emerging functional groups in conditional activation chemistry and as final products. These findings have direct relevance for the design of small molecule prodrugs and cleavable linkers.
