Abstract

This paper presents a practical and efficient asymmetric synthesis of enantiomerically pure 4-aminoglutamic acids using a quite unusual methylene dimerization of chiral nucleophilic glycine equivalents with dichloromethane under phase-transfer catalysis (PTC) conditions. From a synthetic standpoint, the reported procedure is highly operationally convenient and scalable as it does not require any chromatographic purification of the intermediate products.
