The invention discloses a reaction composition and a method for constructing a gamma-
amino acid skeleton by photopromoted CO2 immobilization. The composition comprises a 1, 1-stilbene compound, an alpha-
silicon-based
carbazole compound, a photocatalyst, alkali and
carbon dioxide. The method comprises the following steps: under
visible light irradiation and a
carbon dioxide atmosphere, carrying out desiliconization on an alpha-
silicon-based
carbazole compound to generate alpha-amino carbon free radicals by utilizing a photooxidation reduction catalytic mechanism, and then carrying out addition on a 1, 1-stilbene compound and capturing
carbon dioxide, so as to construct a gamma-
amino acid skeleton. According to the method, a
silicon-based activation strategy is utilized, the use of high temperature,
high pressure and a
metal catalyst is avoided, the method has the advantages of mild
reaction conditions, strong substrate universality, high chemical selectivity and the like, and efficient and green synthesis of the
carbazole-containing unnatural
amino acid is realized.
