Abstract

Here we report a visible-light facilitated radical addition strategy for the preparation of various natural or unnatural α-amino acids from readily available glycine derivatives and alkenes. A key aspect in achieving this side carbon chain introduction reaction, while circumventing the well-documented cyclization pathway, was the employment of a radical-polar crossover strategy under redox neutral conditions.
