While this methodology is very useful in laboratory scale to prepare α-unsubstituted and even α-monosubstituted β-amino acids, it is not suitable for large-scale synthesis, due to the expensive silver catalyst and the hazardous diazoalkyl reagents.

110. (a) The ring adopts preferentially an envelope conformation, with the acetoxy group in a pseudoaxial position, and the nucleophile adds from the inside face of the envelope, giving the cis product. The attack from the outside face is disfavored, due to the eclipsing interactions developed between the substituents at C-2 and C-3 in the transition structure for the trans product.

115. (b) The addition of methanol after the scission step was necessary to obtain good yields. If the fragmentation was followed by addition of the nucleophile and the Lewis acid, a complex product mixture was formed. The addition of methanol probably deactivated excess reagents from the first step and generated the stable N,O-acetal 43, which was a good acyliminium precursor.
