چکیده
A method for the synthesis of α-amino acids by direct reductive carboxylation of aromatic imines with CO2 is described. The protocol employs readily available commercial reagents and serves as a one-step alternative to the Strecker synthesis.

Direct carbon-carbon bond formation via reductive soft enolization: a syn-selective Mannich addition of α-iodo thioesters.
The β-amino carboxylic acid moiety is a key feature of numerous important biologically active compounds. We describe a syn-selective direct Mannich addition reaction that uses α-iodo thioesters and sulfonyl imines and produces β-amino thioesters. Enolate formation is achieved by reductive soft enolization. The products of the reaction provide straightforward access to biologically important β-l...
متن کاملPhotoredox activation of carbon dioxide for amino acid synthesis in continuous flow
Although carbon dioxide (CO2) is highly abundant, its low reactivity has limited its use in chemical synthesis. In particular, methods for carbon-carbon bond formation generally rely on two-electron mechanisms for CO2 activation and require highly activated reaction partners. Alternatively, radical pathways accessed via photoredox catalysis could provide new reactivity under milder conditions. ...
متن کاملUmpolung synthesis of branched α-functionalized amines from imines via photocatalytic three-component reductive coupling reactions.
A three component reductive coupling reaction of a (hetero)aromatic amine, a (hetero)aromatic aldehyde and an electron deficient olefin catalysed by eosin Y under green LED light irradiation, for the direct generation of γ-amino acid derivatives, is described. This new umpolung synthesis of amines, which exploits the high nucleophilicity of a putative α-amino radical intermediate, generated via...
متن کاملRegioselective Enzymatic β-Carboxylation of para-Hydroxy- styrene Derivatives Catalyzed by Phenolic Acid Decarboxylases
We report on a 'green' method for the utilization of carbon dioxide as C1 unit for the regioselective synthesis of (E)-cinnamic acids via regioselective enzymatic carboxylation of para-hydroxystyrenes. Phenolic acid decarboxylases from bacterial sources catalyzed the β-carboxylation of para-hydroxystyrene derivatives with excellent regio- and (E/Z)-stereoselectivity by exclusively acting at the...
متن کاملThe synthesis of amino acids by Methanobacterium omelianskii.
1. Methanobacterium omelianskii was grown on (14)CO(2) and unlabelled ethanol, or on [1-(14)C]- or [2-(14)C]-ethanol and unlabelled carbon dioxide. The cell protein was hydrolysed and certain of the amino acids were isolated and degraded. 2. Carbon from both carbon dioxide and ethanol is used for biosynthesis of amino acids, and in most cases ethanol is incorporated as a C(2) unit. Ethanol carb...
