Abstract

Abstract A method using hydrosilylation of unsaturated amino acids was developed and optimised to obtain silylated amino acids. The platinum (Bu 4 N) 2 PtCl 6 complex was identified as the best catalyst, and the procedure tolerated different unsaturated substrates, silane reagents and protecting groups. Seven silicon-containing α-amino acids were prepared in an enantiomerically pure form under mild conditions in good yields with ...
