α-Amino acids represent a valuable class of natural products employed as building blocks in biological and chemical synthesis. Because of the limited number of natural amino acids available, and of their widespread application in proteomics, diagnosis, drug delivery and catalysis, there is an increasing demand for the development of procedures for the preparation of modified analogues. Herein, we show that the use of bioinspired manganese catalysts and H2O2 under mild conditions, provides access to modified α-amino acids via γ-C?H bond lactonization. The system can efficiently target 1°, 2° and 3° γ-C?H bonds of α-substituted and achiral α,α-disubstituted α-amino acids with outstanding site-selectivity, good to excellent diastereoselectivity and (where applicable) enantioselectivity. This methodology may be considered alternative to well-established organometallic procedures.

A simple strategy for configurational assignments of alpha-amino acids has been developed by comparison of the proton NMR chemical shift values of the alpha hydrogens of N-phthaloyl protected alpha-amino acids in the presence of (R)-CSA 1 and (S)-CSA 1, respectively. Highly resolved NMR spectra can be obtained directly on the mixed solution of the chiral solvating agents with N-phthaloyl protected alpha-amino acids in NMR tubes, giving well distinguishable proton signals without interference which dramatically improve the accuracy of assignment and hasten the assigning procedure. The strategy is widely applicable for varied natural and non-natural amino acids.

Easy on, easy off: Directing groups found to promote the palladium-catalyzed amination of γ C(sp3)-H and C(sp 2)-H bonds of secondary amides included 5-methoxy-8-aminoquinoline, which can be removed under mild conditions (see scheme; CAN=ceric ammonium nitrate). In conjunction with a β-C-H methylation or γ-C-H arylation step, the γ-C(sp3)-H amination provided access to complex pyrrolidones from readily available precursors. Copyright
