Abstract

Abstract Succesive treatment of chiral esters 1 with LiN (i-Pr) 2/Me 3 SiCl and di (tert-butyl) azodicarboxylate/TiCl 4/Ti (i-PrO) 4 gave N, N′-di [(tert-butoxy) carbonyl] hydrazino esters 9 which on deacylation, hydrogenolysis, transesterification, and acidic hydrolysis furnished (2S)-α-amino acids 6 in high enantiomeric purity with efficient recovery of the auxiliary alcohol 7.
