A visible-light-induced
dehydrogenative/decarboxylative coupling
reaction of arylglycine derivatives and β-keto acids is described.
This photocatalyst- and additive-free protocol can be applied in the
efficient synthesis of γ-keto glycine derivatives under ambient
conditions. Further uses of this methodology and a plausible mechanism
are also demonstrated.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
