“…Each approach has itsown advantages and limitations while more than 80 numbers of different approaches have been discussed here but the organo-Rh based and heterogeneous catalyzed approach is found to be more effective ( Scheme 1,2,4,11,12,13,28,29) and (Scheme 8,9,33,34,35,36,37,45,54,63). Other approaches can also be considered to synthesize enantioselective amino acids ( Scheme 11,13,15,40,45,50,61,62,68,70,74). No doubt, the growing interest in enantioselective β-amino acids will stimulate new and improved methods for their synthesis in near future.…”
