Enantioselective Synthesis of α,β-Disubstituted-β-amino Acids

Abstract
Highly diastereoselective and enantioselective addition of N-benzylhydroxylamine to imides 17 and 20−30 produces α,β-trans-disubstituted N-benzylisoxazolidinones 19 and 31−41. These reactions proceed in 60−96% ee with 93−99% de's using 5 mol % of Mg(NTf2)2 and ligand 18. The product isoxazolidinones can be hydrogenolyzed directly to provide α,β-disubstituted-β-amino acids.
