Unnatural amino acids are valuable building blocks with numerous applications. Here, we present a quantitative technique for accessing mono-N-functionalized amino acids directly from unprotected substrates using alcohols as alkylating agents and an NHC-Ir(III) catalyst. We detail specific steps for catalyst preparation and application, as well as for catalyst recycling. The protocol excludes a few amino acids (l-cysteine, l-lysine, and l-arginine) and secondary alcohols. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Bermejo-López et al. (2022)..
非天然氨基酸是具有众多应用的有价值的结构单元。在此,我们展示了一种定量技术,可使用醇类作为烷基化剂和NHC-Ir(III)催化剂,直接从未受保护的底物中获取单N-官能化氨基酸。我们详细说明了催化剂制备、应用以及催化剂循环利用的具体步骤。该方案排除了几种氨基酸(L-半胱氨酸、L-赖氨酸和L-精氨酸)和仲醇。有关此方案的使用和实施的完整详细信息,请参考Bermejo-López等人(2022年)的文献。
