The preparation and alkylation of a butanedione-derived chiral glycine equivalent and its use for the synthesis of alpha-amino acids and alpha,alpha-disubstituted amino acids

A benzyloxycarbonyl protected glycine equivalent 2 has been prepared in enantiopure form and has been used in the synthesis of both α-substituted amino acids and α,α-disubstituted amino acids. The process involved deprotonation to form the corresponding enolates which underwent stereoselective alkyl...
