Significance

The authors have developed a highly diastereoselective synthesis of chiral γ-phosphino-α-amino acids through palladium-catalyzed C–H activation. The reaction can be carried out on a gram scale.

Comment

Chiral γ-phosphino-α-amino acids are important motifs in various bioactive compounds. Readily available amino acid derivatives bearing a quinolin-8-yl (AQ) directing group provide the corresponding products, from which the directing AQ group can be easily removed.
