Radical-Based Synthesis and Modification of Amino Acids
TL;DR: A broad overview of the advancements made in this field during the last decade is provided, focusing on methods for the de novo synthesis of α‐, β‐, and γ‐AAs, as well as for the selective derivatisation of canonical and non‐canonical α-AAs.

Synthesis of γ-Oxo-α-amino Acids via Radical Acylation with Carboxylic Acids.
TL;DR: In this paper, a light-mediated, deoxygenative protocol was proposed to access γ-oxo-α-amino acid derivatives, which employs photoredox catalysis, in combination with triphenylphosphine, to generate acyl radicals from readily available (hetero)aromatic and vinylic carboxylic acids.
