Numerous unnatural aminoacids which are often the characteristic units of biologically active peptides, have alsobeen discovered. Herein we describe a convenient and general access to natural andunnatural α-amino acids which are based on the use of the chiral building blocks,(S)-1a-e and (R)-1a-e from kinetic resolution of α-furfuryl amines (Scheme 1).展开更多
