Abstract

Nonproteinogenic, unnatural a-amino acids have increasingly attracted the attention of numerous disciplines in connection with the design and synthesis of enzyme inhibitors as potential constituents of pharmaceuticals, as optically active starting materials for a variety of synthetic applications, and for the study of enzymatic reaction mechanisms. As a consequence, numerous and versatile approaches to the synthesis of nonproteinogenic, ...
