Microwave-assisted synthesis of unnatural amino acids.
Microwave irradiation has been proven to be a useful tool in the rapid assembly of racemic unnatural amino acids in only two steps. Additional benefits of this methodology are the commercial availability of the inexpensive starting materials and the high yields and high purities of the final amino acid products.
