✦ Synopsis
A series of novel hydrophobic, bulky x 2 -constrained phenylalanine and naphthylalanine derivatives were designed and synthesized. Asymmetric hydrogenations of a-enamides using Burk's DuPHOS-based Rh(I) catalysts generated high enantiomerically pure a-amino acid derivatives, which subsequently underwent Suzuki cross couplings with boronic acid derivatives to afford these aromatic substituted amino acids in high yields and with high enantioselectivity.
