Diastereoselective synthesis of arylglycine derivatives by cationic Palladium(II)-Catalyzed addition of arylboronic acids to N-tert-Butanesulfinyl imino esters

[GRAPHICS] A cationic palladium-complex-catalyzed addition of arylboronic acids to N-tert-butanesulfinyl iminoacetates to yield the optically active arylglycine derivatives with moderate to good yield and high diastereoselectivity was developed. This reaction provides a convenient and efficient method for the synthesis of arylglycine derivatives.
