  • Title: Recent developments in the catalytic asymmetric synthesis of alpha- and beta-amino acids.
    Author: Ma JA.
    Journal: Angew Chem Int Ed Engl; 2003 Sep 22; 42(36):4290-9. PubMed ID: 14502699.
    Abstract:
    The stereoselective synthesis of amino acids is of great importance for the construction of optically active natural products and pharmaceuticals. Apart from enzymes, a broad repertoire of chiral reagents, auxiliaries, and catalysts can be used for the formation of amino acids. Asymmetric reactions using catalytic amounts of chiral molecules provide efficient methods for the generation of optically active proteinogenic and nonproteinogenic amino acids. This minireview collects recent work on catalytic asymmetric synthesis of alpha- and beta-amino acids.
