The synthesis of 5-chloro-8-nitro-1-naphthoyl chloride and its use as a protective group for amines is described. Protection is carried out with an auxiliary amine or under mild Schotten-Baumann conditions in high yield (>86%), while deprotection can be achieved easily under gentle reducing conditions due to the large steric tension between C-1 and C-8 naphthalene substituents. The reaction has been successfully tested in dipeptide synthesis and amino alcohols protection, and it has proved selective for the ε-amine group of lysine.
