The major goal of this review is a critical discussion of the literature data on asymmetric
synthesis of α-amino acids via Michael addition reactions involving Ni (II)-complexes of …

The asymmetric synthesis of α‐heterofunctionalized α‐and β‐amino acid derivatives has
been a heavily investigated topic over the last years, benefiting from the development of …

Herein, we report an efficient and practical protocol for the asymmetric synthesis of unnatural
α-amino acids (AAs) with γ-tertiary and quaternary carbon centres via selective …

2-Thiazolines are important building blocks in organic synthesis and are of great importance
in many areas of chemistry. At the end of the last century, the use of 2-thiazolines increased …

Four differently substituted chiral Ni (II)‐complexes of dehydroalanine Schiff base were
prepared and reacted with BrCF2COOEt/Cu under the standard reaction conditions. The …

In this work, we report the asymmetric synthesis and characterization of an artificial amino
acid based on triazolyl-thione l-alanine, which was modified with a thiophenyl-substituted …

Aliphatic artificial α-amino acids (α-AAs) have attracted great interest in biochemistry and
pharmacy. In this context, we developed a promising practical protocol for the asymmetric …

The selective addition of electrophilic C= C double bonds to the N–H bond of indoles is a
challenging task due to the high nucleophilicity of indoles at their C3‐position. Herein, we …

We developed a novel method for the synthesis of 2‐substituted‐4, 5‐dihydrothiazol‐4‐ols
compounds through cyclization of thioamides and 1, 4‐dithiane‐2, 5‐diol in the presence of …

This chapter deals with the most results reported for various aspects of complex formation
processes of simple amino acids, peptides and related substances in the last two years, in …
