Abstract

This review focuses on the introduction and early development, in solution, of phase-transfer catalyzed (PTC) reactions to afford racemic or enantioenriched natural and unnatural amino acids. To form monosubstituted amino acids alkylation reactions are performed on the benzophenone Schiff base of glycine. For α,α-disubstituted amino acids the activated intermediate is an aldimine derivative of the monosubstituted amino acid. Enantioenriched products are produced by organocatalysis using derivatives of Cinchona alkaloids as the phase-transfer catalyst. Selectivity for monoalkylatation and lack of product racemization depend on the acidities of the glycine imines, and dialkylated products are formed from aldimine esters of monoalkyl amino acids. The racemic and catalytic enantioselective reactions of a cationic glycine equivalent with organoboranes, organometallics and malonate anion are discussed as are other reactions of these versatile Schiff bases derivatives.
