Formal Total Synthesis of l-Ossamine via Decarboxylative Functionalization Using Visible-Light-Mediated Photoredox Catalysis in a Flow System.

A formal total synthesis of l-ossamine was achieved. The key feature of the synthesis was the decarboxylative functionalization of a threonine derivative using visible-light-mediated photoredox catalysis. This reaction was implemented in a flow reactor, allowing for the efficient conversion to the desired product.
