Nano-¦Ă-Fe₂O₃was applied as an efficient, green, heterogeneous and reusable catalyst at ambient temperature; the method is general for the preparation of N-Boc derivatives of aliphatic, heterocyclic, aromatic as well as amino acid derivatives. %K Nano-¦Ă-Fe< %K sub> %K 2< %K /sub> %K O< %K sub> %K 3< %K /sub> %K < %K i> %K N< %K /i> %K -Boc Protection %K Amine %K Heterogeneous Catalyst %K Water %U http://www.scirp.org/journal/PaperInformation.aspx?PaperID=46436
