Journal ArticleDOI
Visible-Light-Mediated, Chemo- and Stereoselective Radical Process for the Synthesis of C-Glycoamino Acids.
TL;DR: An approach for efficient synthesis of C-glycosyl amino acids is described, which follows a pathway in which α-imino esters serve as electrophiles in chemoselective addition reactions with nucleophilic glycosyl radicals.
Journal ArticleDOI
Synthesis of Enantioenriched α-Deuterated α-Amino Acids Enabled by an Organophotocatalytic Radical Approach.
TL;DR: A mild, versatile organophotoredox protocol has been developed that offers the unrivaled capacity of the convergent unification of readily accessible feedstock carboxylic acids and a chiral methyleneoxazolidinone fragment and the simultaneous highly diastereo-, chemo-, and regioselective incorporation of deuterium.
Journal ArticleDOI
Deuteration of Formyl Groups via a Catalytic Radical H/D Exchange Approach
TL;DR: A distinct photoredox catalytic, visible light mediated neutral radical approach enables driving the formation of deuterated products when an excess of D2O is employed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Organocatalytic Transformation of Aldehydes to Thioesters with Visible Light.
TL;DR: A strategy of a simple organic 9,10-phenanthrenequinone-promoted hydrogen atom transfer with visible light was successfully implemented to selectively generate acyl radicals without inducing crossover reactivity of thioester products.
