A catalytic, asymmetric conjugate addition of carbamates to enoyl systems provides a highly enantioselective two-step
access to N-protected β-amino acids.

A mild, fast protocol for the conversion of β-ketoesters and β-diketones to
carboxylic acids with use of CAN in CH3CN is described. The
method is compatible with a number of functional groups, and can generate
carboxylic acids under neutral conditions. The mechanism is discussed.
