Abstract

We have developed a novel method for decarboxylative benzoyloxylation of β-hydroxy amino acids using photoredox catalyst Ru(bpy)3Cl2·6H2O and benzoylperoxide (BzO)2. This strategy was expanded to the synthesis of structurally diverse chiral 1,2-amino alcohols with different aryl or alkyl groups, starting from serine or threonine derivatives.
