title: Catalysis as a key technology for the environmentally benign synthesis of amines and amino acids.
abstract: The rhodium-catalyzed amination of aromatic olefins and the palladium-catalyzed amidocarbonylation of aldehydes are presented as new atom-efficient methods to yield biologically interesting amines and N-acyl amino acids.
