The invention is a herbicidal composition containing an alkanolamine salt of an dicamba capable of remaining as a single phase liquid over a period of at least 1 week and containing low amounts of water and high loadings of the salt. Such herbicidal compositions are capable of remaining liquid in the absence of high amounts of water, thereby enhancing their capacity to remain liquid over an extended period of time when exposed to environmental conditions to improve their effectiveness to transport the active salt through a leafy substrate and can reduce transportation costs by increasing the salt loading without compromising the stability of the composition.

Provided are novel compounds of Formula (I):

Described herein are methods for preparing chiral ?-amino acids using chiral phosphoric acids as catalysts. The disclosed methods can use amino-malonic acids as substrates to generate chiral amino acids with a variety of side chains in high optional purity (such as an ee value of at least 70%) and with a high yield (i.e., a yield of at least 80%, such as in a range from about 80% to about 99%), via an asymmetric decarboxylation reaction. The decarboxylation reaction of the methods is catalyzed by chiral phosphoric acids that can achieve a selective protonation during decarboxylation, which is considered one of the most difficult processes in asymmetric catalysis.
