Stereoselective Syntheses of Fluorescent Non-Natural Aromatic Amino Acids Based on Asymmetric Michael Additions

Four fluorescent non-natural aromatic amino acids have been synthesized based on a key stereoselective Michael addition reaction. S-1-Phenylethylamine was employed as both the source of amine and the stereoselectivity controller. The overall yields were moderate (30-50%). Fluorescent properties of s...
