Abstract
A fully stereoselective synthesis of unnatural chiral β‐aryl‐β‐pyrazolyl α‐amino acid esters via copper‐catalyzed addition reactions of azomethine ylides with benzylidenepyrazolones bearing two contiguous stereogenic centers was developed. A 1H‐pyrazol‐5‐ol was introduced by the aromatization of 3H‐pyrazol‐3‐one in the reaction. The transformation operated at room temperature and afforded β‐1H‐pyrazol‐5‐ol‐α‐amino esters in high yields with good to excellent levels of diastereo‐ and enantioselectivity. magnified image
