Abstract

The new zinc reagents 3 and 4 are not sufficiently stable to be prepared efficiently in THF, but they can be prepared in DMF under mild and convenient conditions; subsequent palladium- catalysed coupling with aromatic iodides gives protected β- and γ-amino acids 11 and 12 in generally good yields.
