Abstract
The lithium enolate of enantiomerically pure N-[bis(methylthio)methyle ne] glycinate 11 derived from (4R,5S)-1,5-dimethyl-4-phenylimidazolidi n-2-one reacts with alkyl halides giving the alkylated derivatives 12 with a high degree of control of the diastereoselectivity. These alkyl ated systems are easily hydrolyzed to the corresponding cx-amino acids , the chiral auxiliary being recovered. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
