Abstract

Highly enantioselective alkylation of azlactones derived from α-amino acids has been achieved under solid-liquid phase-transfer conditions using P-spiro chiral tetraaminophosphonium salt as a catalyst. The resulting alkylated azlactones can be readily converted into the corresponding α,α-disubstituted α-amino acids through simple acidic hydrolysis.

Key words

aminophosphonium salt - phase-transfer catalysis - azlactone - α,α-disubstituted α-amino acid - asymmetric synthesis
