β-amino acids are the important building blocks for the production of medicines, a precursor for β lactams and building blocks for oligomers. The present study illustrates, novel and efficient asymmetric method for the synthesis of β amino acids has been described. So, the present work deals with the transformation of chiral aspartic acid to β, γ-aziridine carboxylic acid ester, a key precursor followed by regio-and stereoselective ring opening would produce a large number of β-amino acids. This discovery could provide a scope for the large-scale preparation of β-amino acids and their derivatives
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
