Treatment of the glutamic acid derived iodide 7 with Rieke copper at -78 °C generates the functionalised alkyl copper reagent 6b an α-amino acid γ-anion equivalent, which reacts directly with acid chlorides and allylic chlorides at -30 °C to give the products of substitution 10-12. In two cases, the enantiomeric purity of the products was established by comparison of optical rotation data with literature values, indicating that the coupling process occurs without racemisation.
