Article Synopsis
- The text discusses a new method for synthesizing β-amino acids through aminocarbonylation of alkenes, which is typically complex but this approach aims to simplify it.
- The novel method uses visible light and combines radical relay coupling with hydrogen and energy transfer to efficiently create β-amino esters in a single step.
- This new technique offers a mild and straightforward alternative, potentially enhancing existing methods for producing β-amino esters.
The development of efficient methods for synthesizing β-silyl amines has long been a significant goal in organic synthesis. Previous methods mainly relied on the use of prefunctionalized substrates or special reagents. Herein, we present a visible-light-promoted synthesis approach for β-silyl amines, utilizing a combination of photoinduced energy and hydrogen atom transfer processes.
