Abstract excerpt
Noncanonical amino acids (ncAAs) with dual stereocenters at the α and β positions are valuable precursors to natural products and therapeutics. Despite the potential applications of such bioactive β-branched ncAAs, their availability is limited due to the inefficiency of the multistep methods used to prepare them. Herein we report a stereoselective biocatalytic synthesis of β-branched tryptophan analogues using...
