Abstract
An asymmetric synthesis of cyclic amino acids having piperidine and azepane core structures was realized starting from readily available glycine and alanine esters by combination of phase-transfer catalyzed asymmetric alkylation and subsequent reductive amination. Some of these key intermediates were successfully transformed to natural alkaloid dihydropinidine and N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) antagonist Selfotel.
