The syntheses of phenacyl N ‐(2,2‐dimethyl‐2 H ‐azirin‐3‐yl)‐ L ‐prolinate and allyl N ‐(2,2‐dimethyl‐2 H ‐azirin‐3‐yl)‐ L ‐prolinate are reported. Reactions of these 2 H ‐azirin‐3‐amine derivatives with Z‐protected amino acids have shown them to be suitable synthons for the Aib‐Pro unit in peptide synthesis. After incorporation into the peptide by means of the ‘azirine/oxazolone method’, the C‐termini of the resulting peptides were deprotected selectively with Zn in AcOH or by a mild Pd 0 ‐promoted procedure, respectively.
