Synthesis of Unnatural α‐Amino Acid Derivatives via Light‐Mediated Radical Decarboxylative Processes

Abstract: Unnatural amino acids (UAAs) are key building blocks with widespread application across several scientific fields. Therefore, it is highly attractive to develop straightforward and simple methodologies capable of granting quick access to these species. Herein we report a light‐mediated protocol for the synthesis of UAA via radical decarboxylative processes. This methodology, which employs readily available and abundant starting materials – such as carboxylic and α‐keto acids – proceeds under very mild reaction conditions and shows a high functional group tolerance. In addition, the products of the radical reaction can be readily derivatized to grant rapid access to complex UAAs.
