Abstract
Phase-transfer-catalyzed alkylation of glycinate Schiff base with racemic secondary alkyl halides proceeded with excellent levels of syn- and enantioselectivities under the influence of chiral quaternary ammonium bromide 1d and 18-crown-6. The alkylation product can be selectively converted to the corresponding anti isomer, allowing the preparation of all the stereoisomers of beta-alkyl-alpha-amino acid derivatives, an extremely valuable chiral building block.
