Abstract

A new, general, and practical procedure for the asymmetric synthesis of 4-alkylidenyl glutamic acid derivatives via a catalytic enantioselective tandem conjugate addition-elimination on allylic acetates under chiral phase-transfer conditions is reported. A variety of structural types of allylic acetates have been reacted with the benzophenone imine of glycine tert-butyl ester to give the products in good to excellent yields and enantioselectivities (63-92% yield, 80-97% ee, 8 cases).
