Abstract

We report here a convenient synthesis of α-substituted aryl amino acids via the addition of α- amino esters to fluorobenzene tricarbonylchromium complexes. Optically pure α-aryl amino acids have been prepared by enantioselective substitution of fluorobenzene complexes using Schiff bases of L-alanine, leucine and valine methyl esters and (1R, 2R, 5R)-2- hydroxypinan-3-one.
