“…A combination of redox-activity and chirality provided by the Ni-Schiff base template, supported with the protection from redox-destruction of the amino acid skeleton, makes the suggested approach a convenient route to various types of nonproteinogenic amino acids [9,10,12,13]. Recently, several practical approaches to α,α-cyclopropanated amino acids in the form of Ni(II)-Schiff base complexes were suggested [16][17][18][19], including electrochemical ones [15]. Cyclopropanecontaining amino acids are important components of various pharmaceuticals [20,21] and bio-additives [22].…”
