Significance

The synthesis of modified amino acids is significant in the pharmaceutical industry and in medicinal chemistry. The authors used a metal-free oxidative bioconjugation method to couple amino acids and aldehydes.


#

Comment

Various amino acid esters are synthesized from amino acids and α-branched aldehydes. The yields of the reactions were moderate to good, and the stereoselectivities were good.
