Asymmetric synthesis of α-amino acids: indium-mediated reactions of glyoxylic oximeether in aqueous media†
Abstract
The indium-mediated allylation and alkylation reactions of the Oppolzer camphorsultam derivative of glyoxylic oxime ether proceeded with excellent diastereoselectivity in aqueous media, providing a variety of enantiomerically pure α-amino acids.
