Key words

hydrogenation - α-hydroxy-β-amino acids - rhodium

Significance

Lv, Zhang and colleagues present a rhodium-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of α-acetoxy β-enamido esters. A series of chiral α-hydroxy-β-amino acid derivatives were prepared in high yields (up to 98%) with excellent ­enantioselectivities (up to 97% ee).


 

Comment

[Rh(nbd)(Sc,Rp)-DuanPhos]BF4 is found to be an effective catalyst for the enantio­selective hydrogenation of tetrasubstituted enamides. The synthetic utility of this method is demonstrated by the synthesis of biologically important molecules.
