Abstract
Catalytically generated boron enolates of carboxylic acids react with diisopropylazodicarboxylate as electrophilic aminating reagent to provide amino acid derivatives. The resulting α-aminocarboxylic acids can easily be converted to carboxylic acid derivatives. Extension to a catalytic asymmetric variant was possible by introducing a chiral ligand on the boron catalyst.
