Abstract
We have found that a boronic acid catalyzed amidation of an N-hydroxy amino acid methyl ester with amino acid tert-butyl esters gave N-hydroxy dipeptide derivatives in good yields without any racemization. The protecting groups on the nitrogen atom could be easily removed by heterogeneous hydrogenation conditions.
