A great hurdle in the production of synthetic polypeptides lies in the access of N-carboxyanhydrides (NCA) monomers, which requires dry solvents, Schlenk line/gloveboxe, and protection of side-chain functional groups. Here we report a robust method for preparing unprotected NCA monomers in air and under moisture. The method employs epoxy compounds as ultra-fast scavengers of hydrogen chloride to allow assisted ring-closure and prevent NCA from acid-catalyzed decomposition under moist conditions. The broad scope and functional group tolerance of the method are demonstrated by the facile synthesis of over 30 different α/β-amino acid NCAs, including many otherwise inaccessible compounds with reactive functional groups, at high yield, high purity, and up to decagram scales. The utility of the method and the unprotected NCAs is demonstrated by the facile synthesis of two water-soluble polypeptides that are promising candidates for drug delivery and protein modification. Overall, our strategy holds great potential for facilitating the synthesis of NCA and expanding the industrial application of synthetic polypeptides.
