The reaction of N-acylamino-2-bromoacetates 2 ( via N-acylimino acetates 3 ) with higher order mixed cuprates, trimethylsilyl enol ethers and β-dicarbonyl compounds leads to a variety of α-amino acid derivatives.Their conversion into the free amino acids can be conveniently carried out by the use of t-butyl protection.In case of the N-acetyl compounds cleavage of the protecting group and optical resolution can be achieved in one step hog renal acylase.
