The document discusses various protecting groups used for amino groups in organic synthesis. It describes qualities of a good protecting group and highlights common protecting groups for amines like carbamates, amides, and cyclic imides. Specific protecting groups covered in detail include t-butyl carbamate, 9-fluorenylmethyloxycarbonyl, benzyloxycarbonyl, formamide, and phthalimide. The document concludes by providing examples of applications of protecting groups in peptide synthesis and synthesis of drugs.
