Abstract

This invention relates to chemical compositions useful in protecting amino functional groups, e.g., during synthetic organic chemistry procedures or in the formulation and/or delivery of prodrugs. The present invention relates particularly to amino-protecting species comprising an acyl group that can form an amide bond with an amino group. The protecting groups of the present invention can be conveniently removed under a wide variety of conditions.
