Protected allylglycine has been hydroborated and the intermediate organobor
ane employed in Suzuki coupling reactions with a number of olefinic, aromat
ic and heteroaromatic bromides and iodides to produce a range of novel a-am
ino acids in good, unoptimised yields. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd. All r
