Photoinduced C–H Bond Activation Involving Alkoxy Radicals for the Synthesis of Non-Canonical Amino Acid Derivatives

Non-canonical amino acids (ncAAs) are key privileged structural motifs in drug discovery. However, their synthesis via C–H functionalization is often hampered by poor functional group tolerance and narrow substrate scope, and largely restricted to activated ethereal or benzylic C–H bonds. Herein, we report a green ph...
