Friedel-Crafts acylation of arenes (benzene, toluene, o-xylene) with N-protected (Bz, Ac, Ac-Bn, Ts, Tfac, N,N-Pht) aspartic anhydrides (1a-1f) resulted in mixtures of α- and β-amino acids. The β/ α-selectivity could be optimized for alkylated arenes (toluene, xylene) and the N-Ac, N-Bn protected 1c.
Regio- and stereoselective 1,6-photocyclization of aspartic acid- derived chiral γ-ketoamides[1]

Chiral α-acylamino γ-ketoamides 2 were irradiated and regioisomeric 1,6-cyclization products 3 and 4 obtained in high yields. Symmetrically N,N- disubstituted substrates 2a,b reacted diastereoselectively to give the all- cis products 3a,b in high yields. High 1,3-asymmetric induction was also observed for the unsymmetrically N,N-disubstituted 2d and 2e. The stereoselectivity of these reactions is discussed in terms of SOC-controlled spin inversion geometries.
