A new highly enantioselective route to α-alkenyl α-amino acid derivatives using a N–H insertion reaction of vinyldiazoacetates and tert-butyl carbamate cooperatively catalyzed by achiral dirhodium(ii) carboxylates and chiral spiro phosphoric acids was developed.

An enantioselective route to four tricyclic amino acids and N-tosylamides, composed of a central norbornane framework with a 2-endo,3-endo-annelated pyrrolidine ring and a 5-endo-C1 or -C2 side chain, has been developed. A key intermediate was the chiral, N-Boc-protected ketone (1R,2S,6S,7R)-4-azatricyclo[5.2.1.02,6]decan-8-one, available from inexpensive endo-carbic anhydride in five steps and 47% yield. The rigid scaffold makes these amino acid derivatives promising candidates for β-turn-inducing building blocks in peptidomimetics and for chiral auxiliaries in asymmetric organocatalysis.

Development of highly enantioselective aza-Friedel–Crafts reaction of N-sulfonyl cyclic ketimines with indoles catalyzed by chiral phosphoric acids, providing an efficient route to indole-containing chiral cyclic α-amino acid derivatives bearing quaternary stereocenter in high yields and up to 98% enantioselectivity.

N-Methyl β-amino acids are potentially useful amino acid derivatives for incorporation in lead peptide therapeutics. The syntheses of five such compounds are presented. Their synthesis via 6-oxazinanones was low yielding. Alternatively, reductive cleavage of a 5-oxazolidinone gave the N-methyl α-amino acid, which was then homologated via an Arndt–Eistert procedure in high yield to give the N-methyl β-amino acid.
