In a palladium-catalyzed intermolecular aminocarbonylation of alkenes, the use
of hypervalent iodine reagent can accelerate the reaction. The current
transformation presents a convenient method to generate β-amino acid derivatives
from simple alkenes.

A Ni-catalyzed reductive carboxylation of N-substituted aziridines with
CO2 at atmospheric pressure provides β-amino acids, important
building blocks with considerable potential as peptidomimetics. The protocol
offers mild conditions, experimental ease, and exquisite chemo- and
regioselectivity.
