The present invention provides a compound represented by the formula (I): wherein R1 is a C?1-6#191 alkyl group optionally substituted by a C?3-10#191 cycloalkyl group, R2 is a C?2-6#191 alkyl group, R3 is a hydrogen atom, a C?1-6#191 alkyl group or a halogen atom, and X is -OR6 or -NR4R5 wherein R4 and R6 are each independently a hydrogen atom, an optionally substituted hydrocarbon group or an optionally substituted heterocyclic group, R5 is an optionally substituted hydrocarbon group, an optionally substituted heterocyclic group or an optionally substituted hydroxy group, or R4 and R5 optionally form, together with the adjacent nitrogen atom, an optionally substituted nitrogen-containing heterocycle, or a salt thereof. The compound of the present invention has a superior peptidase inhibitory action and is useful as an agent for the prophylaxis or treatment of diabetes and the like.
Enantioselective synthesis of β-amino acids based on BINAP-ruthenium(II) catalyzed hydrogenation

BINAP-Ru(II) catalyzed hydrogenation of β-substituted (E)-β-(acylamino)acrylic acids allows efficient enantioselective synthesis of β-amino acids. The Z double bond isomers which possess an intramolecular hydrogen bond between amide and ester groups are more reactive but are hydrogenated with poor enantioselectivity. BINAP-Rh(I) complexes afford only moderate stereoselectivity with the opposite sense of enantioselection.
