Abstract
β-Phenylalanine derivatives (β-PAD) represent a structural family of therapeutic interest, either as components of drugs or as starting materials for access to key compounds. As scaffolds for medicinal chemistry work, β-PAD offer the advantage of great diversity and modularity, a chiral pseudopeptidic character that opens up the capacity to be recognized by natural systems, and greater stability than natural α-amino acids. Nevertheless, their synthesis remains a challenge in drug discovery and numerous methods have been devoted to their preparation. This review is an update of the access routes to β-PAD and their various therapeutic applications.
