Utilization of Acidic α-Amino Acids as Acyl Donors: An Effective Stereo-Controllable Synthesis of Aryl-Keto α-Amino Acids and Their Derivatives

Aryl-keto-containing α-amino acids are of great importance in organic chemistry and biochemistry. They are valuable intermediates for the construction of hydroxyl α-amino acids, nonproteinogenic α-amino acids, as well as other biofunctional components. Friedel-Crafts acylation is an effective metho...
