Abstract

Alkylation of Schiff bases 2 derived from 4-chlorobenzaldehyde and sultam-derived amino acids 1 gave crystalline diastereomers 3 which after deprotection and re-crystallization, if necessary, afforded in good yield enantiomerically pure Cα′-methylated amino acid (ex: αMePhe, αMeLeu, αMeMet).
