Decarbonylative diarylation reaction of N-tosylated α-amino acids

Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/S0040-4039(98)01279-9

The reaction of various N-tosylated α-amino acids with arenes in the presence of sulfuric acid afforded the corresponding diarylated derivatives in moderate yields, which were generated via decarbonylative arylation followed by Friedel-Crafts reaction of the generated tosylamide derivatives.
