Abstract

Abstract A novel method for the synthesis of chiral β 3-amino acids is developed where the acid functionality was built by oxidative cleavage of an α-allylic group that was introduced by Evans' asymmetric alkylation of an appropriate acid substrate and the amino part came from the amide of the original carboxyl group following a modified Hofmann rearrangement reaction.
