Enantioselective rhodium enolate protonations. A new methodology for the synthesis of β2-amino acids

Article abstract of DOI:10.1021/ol050630b

(Chemical Equation Presented) Rhodium-catalyzed conjugate addition of an aryl boronic acid to α-methylamino acrylates followed by enantioselective protonation of the oxa-π-allylrhodium intermediate provides access to aryl-substituted β²-amino a
