N-Acetyl-α,-βdidehydroalanine methyl ester acts, in the presence of Lewis acids, as an electrophile in α-acetamidoalkylation reactions with furan and anisole. Boron trifluoride-diethyl ether complex was the most effective Lewis acid, and excellent yields of 2-methyl-2-(2-furyl)glycine and 2-methoxyphenyl-2-methylglycine were obtained.
