In the presence of three readily available chemicals, Mn powder, BF3路OEt2, and LiCl, N-acyl-N,O-acetals were successfully converted into the corresponding 伪-amino acids (arylglycine derivatives) under 1 atm of a CO2 atmosphere in high yields. The LiCl additive is necessary in order to increase the solubility and the nucleophilicity of an organomanganese intermediate. The products thus obtained were transformed into free 伪-amino acids in two steps.
