Employing Photoredox Catalysis for DNA‐Encoded Chemistry: Decarboxylative Alkylation of α‐Amino Acids
2018
: A new procedure for the photoredox-mediated conjugate addition of radicals that can be conveniently generated from α-amino acids to DNA-tagged Michael acceptors and styrenes is presented. This C(sp3 )-C(sp3 ) coupling tolerates a broad array of structurally diverse radical precursors, including all of the 20 proteinogenic amino acids. Importantly, this reaction proceeds under mild conditions and in DNA-compatible aqueous media. Furthermore, the presented reaction conditions are compatible with DNA, making this reaction platform well suited for the construction of DNA-encoded libraries. The scope and limitations of the chemistry are discussed herein along with proposals for how this methodology might be used to construct DNA-encoded libraries.
