A chemo-enzymatic telescopic approach was designed for the synthesis of L-arylalanines in high yield and optical purity, starting from commercially available and inexpensive substituted benzaldehydes. The method exploits a chemical Knoevenagel–Doebner condensation (optimised to give complete conversions in a short reaction time, employing microwave irradiation) and a biocatalytic phenylalanine ammonia lyase mediated hydroamination (for the stereoselective addition of ammonia). The two reactions can be run sequentially in one pot, bringing together the advantages of chemical and biological catalysis. The preparative applicability was demonstrated with the synthesis of five L-dihalophenylalanines (71–84% yield, 98–99% ee) of relevance as molecular probes, for medicinal chemistry and for the synthesis of pharmaceutical ingredients.

Extension of the structure-activity relationship studies that led to the discovery of the nonsedating potent muscle relaxant, antiinflammatory, and analgesic agent (E)-2-(4,6-difluoro-1-indanylidene)acetamide, 1, has given rise to (E)-2-(4-chloro-6-fluoro
