Abstract
A continuous-flow quaternization reaction of gramines with MeI (<1 min) followed by a substitution reaction with a chiral nucleophilic glycine-derived Ni-complex (S)-2 (<1 min) has successfully been developed to afford the corresponding alkylated Ni-complexes 3 in good yields with excellent diastereoselectivity, based on the results of a one-pot quaternization-substitution reaction of gramines with (S)-2 in a batch process. The continuous-flow process allowed the safe and efficient scale-up synthesis of 3j (84% yield, 99% de, 540 g h-1) to give 7-azatryptophan derivative (S)-4j readily by an acid-catalyzed hydrolysis reaction followed by protection with an Fmoc group. The present method for the rapid and efficient syntheses of enantiopure unnatural tryptophan derivatives from various gramines and (S)-2 will be useful to further promote peptide and protein drug discovery and development research.

Abstract
Over the recent years there has been a noticeable upsurge of interest in aza-analogs of tryptophan which are isosteric to the latter and found numerous applications in medicinal, bioorganic chemistry, and peptide research. In the present review article, five aza-tryptophan derivatives are profiled, including aza-substitution in the positions 2, on the five-membered ring, as well as in positions 4, 5, 6, and 7 on the six-membered ring. A detailed and comprehensive literature overview of the synthetic methods for the preparation of these aza-tryptophans is presented and general facets of the biological properties and most promising applications are discussed.

Abstract
Amino acids (AAs) play an important role in the modern health industry as key synthetic precursors for pharmaceuticals, biomaterials, biosensors, and drug delivery systems. Currently, over 30% of small-molecule drugs contain residues of tailor-made AAs or derived from them amino-alcohols and di-amines. In this review article, we profile 12 AA-derived new pharmaceuticals approved by the FDA in 2020. These newly introduced drugs include Tazverik (epithelioid sarcoma), Gemtesa (overactive bladder), Zeposia (multiple sclerosis), Byfavo (induction and maintenance of procedural sedation), Cu 64 dotatate, and Gallium 68 PSMA-11 (both PET imaging), Rimegepant (acute migraine), Zepzelca (lung cancer), Remdesivir (COVID-19), Amisulpride (nausea and vomiting), Setmelanotide (obesity), and Lonafarnib (progeria syndrome). For each compound, we describe the spectrum of biological activity, medicinal chemistry discovery, and synthetic preparation.

Abstract
Dynamic kinetic resolution (DKR) of unprotected amino acids (AAs), via intermediate formation of Ni(II) complexes, is currently a leading methodology for preparation of natural and tailor-made AAs in enantiomerically pure form. In this work, we conduct a comparative case study of synthetic performance of four different ligands in DKR of six AAs representing aryl-, benzyl-, alkyl-, and long alkyl-type derivatives. The results of this study allow for rational selection of ligand/AA type to develop a practical procedure for preparation of target enantiomerically pure AAs.
