Abstract
En 中文
Noncanonical amino acids are prevalent handles in drug discovery to improve pharmacological properties. Here, we present a nickel-photocatalytic method that yields β-arylated β-amino acids from abundant aspartic acid as natural amino acid and widely available (hetero)aryl bromides as cross-coupling electrophiles. Utilizing dimethoxyethane as solvent and tert-butyl tetramethylguanidine (BTMG) as base gives highest yields, and various functional groups were tolerated in the final amino acid products. More than 21 non-canonical amino acids were obtained in up to good yields, and diversification enabled the synthesis of bioactive derivatives, ready for follow-up application. This concept of using naturally occurring amino acids as starting materials allows for access to non-canonical counterparts under mild and photocatalytic control.
