“…The synthesis of amino acids was a very important development [ 7 ]. Their applications can be found currently in several domains: biochemistry, enzymology [ 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 ], medicine (antibiotics, antiepileptics, antivirals, antiprotozoals, cardiovascular, atherosclerosis, renal failure and diabetes, neuroexciters [ 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 ]), agrochemical industry (herbicides, fungicides, regulation of plant growth), in addition to their important utility as chiral auxiliaries in asymmetric synthesis [ 27 , 28 ].…”
