We have demonstrated that the high yields and selectivities of 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions can be translated into facile stereoselective syntheses of a diverse array of beta-amino acids, key components of bioactive natural products, beta-lactams, and peptidomimetics. Simply by selecting different combinations of three readily available starting materials (an oxime, a chiral allylic alcohol, and a nucleophile), we used the reaction sequence to prepare four different beta-amino acid structural types with a variety of substitution patterns in good overall yield. Of particular note is the use of this approach to prepare highly substituted beta-amino acids not readily accessible by previously reported methodologies. This will pave the way for future studies of the structure and function of this important class of molecules.
