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.
