title: Organocatalytic synthesis of optically active β-branched α-amino esters via asymmetric biomimetic transamination.
abstract: This paper describes an efficient asymmetric biomimetic transamination of α-keto esters with a quinine-derived chiral base as the catalyst, giving a variety of β-branched α-amino esters in 50-96% yield and 87-95% ee.
