title: Kowalski ester homologation. application to the synthesis of beta-amino esters.
abstract: The Kowalski ester homologation protocol has been applied to a representative range of alpha-amino esters to provide beta-amino esters with excellent levels of enantio- and diastereocontrol. A key feature of this chemistry is the nature of the N-protecting group that is employed.
