I want to esterify a N-Boc protected amino acid. After this I want deprotect the Boc group and react the amino group. What is the easiest way to do this?

This method is not only compatible with natural amino acids, but also with other aromatic and aliphatic amino acids. I think the following below links may help you in your analysis:
