Nn. Romanova et al., Solvent-free stereoselective synthesis of beta-aryl-beta-amino acid estersby the Rodionov reaction using microwave irradiation, MENDELEEV C, (1), 2001, pp. 26-27
A rapid method for the title synthesis of beta -aryl-beta -amino acid ester
s was developed, and the absolute configurations of newly formed C-3 chiral
centres in the major and minor diastereomers of the resulting ethyl N-[(S)
-alpha -methylbenzyl]-beta -amino-beta -phenylpropionate were determined.
