Abstract

A general approach to the synthesis of amino acid sulfinate salts from commercially available α-chiral hydroxylated amino acids is reported. These reagents are shown to be valuable precursors to alkyl radicals under mild photochemical oxidation conditions. The photochemically generated amino acid radicals engage readily with alkyl and aryl disulfide radical traps to afford a diverse suite of modified amino acids.
