• Preparation of constrained phenylalanine analogs via Heck reaction followed by asymmetric hydrogenation and cyclization steps
• Enantioselective preparation of N-benzyloxy-β-amino acid Me esters by hydrogenation of α-(benzyloxyaminomethyl)acrylate stereoisomers
• Preparation of fluoro amino acids as synthons for potent macrocyclic HCV NS3 protease inhibitors
• Stereoselective preparation of triply isotope-labeled Ser, Cys, and Ala
• Preparation of β-amino acids from asymmetric hydrogenation of α-(aminomethyl)acrylates
• Asymmetric hydrogenation of a-primary and secondary amino ketones and asymmetric synthesis of (-)-arbutamine and (-)-denopamine
