Visible light photocatalytic decarboxylative monofluoroalkenylation of α-amino acids with gem-difluoroalkenes

Abstract

α-Amino acids are among the most common biologically active molecules in nature, and their functionalization has attracted much attention. In this communication, a novel, efficient and general visible-light photocatalytic decarboxylative monofluoroalkenylation of N-protected α-amino acids with gem-difluoroalkenes is reported, affording the corresponding α-amino monofluoroalkenes which might find applications in medical chemistry and materials science. The reaction proceeded at room temperature with high efficiency and tolerance of various functional groups.
