Abstract
Making a Fmoc-ery of it: We report an efficient, quick, and sustainable method for the protection of amines with a 9-fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl (Fmoc) group. This solvent-free approach results in good-to-excellent isolated yields of the desired products within only five minutes under microwave irradiation.
