The invention belongs to the technical field of
chemical synthesis, and relates to a method for synthesizing a chiral alpha-non-natural aromatic
amino acid derivative under visible light driving. The preparation method comprises the following steps: carrying out in-situ matching on a compound 1 and a ligand under the action of a catalyst, and then continuously carrying out photocatalytic
coupling reaction on the compound 1 and a compound 2 under the action of an additive to obtain a compound 3, namely the chiral alpha-non-natural aromatic
amino acid derivative. Rich types of natural carboxylic acids exist in the nature,
redox active ester derived from aromatic
acetic acid is adopted as an
aryl donor, a guarantee is provided for
structural diversity synthesis of chiral alpha-non-natural aromatic
amino acid, a non-natural amino acid compound
library can be enriched to a great extent, and assistance is provided for development of polypeptide innovative drugs.
