Stereoselective construction of unprotected β-amino acids is a significant challenge owing to the lack of methods for the catalytic generation of highly enantioenriched carboxylic acid enolates. In this study, a novel copper-catalyzed diastereo- and enantioselective reductive Mannich-type reaction of α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acids was developed, which provides a direct and scalable synthetic method for enantioenriched β<sup>2,3,3</sup> -amino acids with vicinal stereogenic centers. The protoco ...[more]
