A very direct approach for the synthesis of β-amino esters is provided by catalytic asymmetric C-H activation by means of carbenoid-induced C-H insertion (see scheme; Boc = butyloxycarbonyl; TFA = trifluoroacetic acid). The reactions described herein represent the first regioselective intermolecular C-H insertions occurring at a methyl site.
