Abstract

Tandem enantioselective hydrogenation followed by a hydroformylation-cyclisation sequence leading to cyclic α-amino acids with ee’s >95% can be achieved in a single pot, one catalyst system by successive reactions of prochiral dienamide esters with H2 followed by H2/CO using Rh(i)-DuPHOS.
