A novel method for the synthesis of non-natural L- and D-amino acids by a Ni-catalyzed reductive cross-coupling reaction is described. This strategy enables the racemization-free cross-coupling of serine/homoserine- derived iodides with aryl/acyl/alkyl halides. It provides convenient access to varieties of enantiopure and functionalized amino acids, which are important building blocks in bioactive compounds and pharmaceuticals.
描述了一种通过镍催化的还原交叉偶联反应合成非天然L-和D-氨基酸的新方法。该策略能够实现丝氨酸/高丝氨酸衍生的碘化物与芳基/酰基/烷基卤化物的无消旋交叉偶联。它为各种对映体纯的功能化氨基酸提供了便利的合成途径,这些氨基酸是生物活性化合物和药物中的重要结构单元。
