A metal-free decarboxylative cyclization from natural α-amino acids was developed and applied in the preparation of pyridinederivatives. By virtue of this method, a series of pyridines containing the moiety of natural α-amino acids can be synthesized efficiently from the corresponding natural α-amino acids.
An oxidative trimerization of three amino acids has been realized to furnish 2,3,5-trisubstuitued pyridines in both cross- and homo-trimerization types. This method is capable of converting simple linear biomass material to heterocycles, which features in the assembly of three amino acid branched chains into one aromatic ring. Molecular iodine triggers the sequential decarboxylation and deamination
