The first selective PdII-catalysed γ-C(sp3)?H and γ-C(sp2)?H arylation of free amino esters using a commercially available catalytic transient directing group. A variety of free amino esters, including α-amino esters and β-amino esters, amino monoesters and amino bis-esters, are shown to react with a diverse range of simple aryl and heteroaryl iodide reagents.

(Chemical Equation Presented) α-Alkyl amino acids can be efficiently prepared in high yields from the respective amino acids themselves. The key step is the oxidation of the amine function to create the corresponding α-nitro acid in a fast and very high yield reaction followed by phase-transfer alkylation and finally reduction to the desired α-alkyl amino acid. Several such acids containing aromatic rings or additional carboxylic groups and acids with steric hindrance at the α-position are suitable substrates. Several alkyl halides were examined as alkylating agents.

A series of α,α-disubstituted α-amino esters was chemically synthesized and then resolved through enantioselective hydrolysis catalysed by a new enzyme isolated from crude Humicola langinosa lipase.This enzyme only accepts free amino esters as substrates with neither lipase activity toward olive oil nor esterase activity toward o-nitrophenyl butyrate.It is unique in that it successfully catalyses the resolution of amino esters with two large α-alkyl groups including aliphatic, aromatic and cyclic amino esters.Examples of resolutions where the alkyl groups differ in size by as little as a single carbon atom have been demonstrated.For determination of absolute configuration, some of the optically active α,α-disubstituted amino acids were also prepared through Schoellkopf's asymmetric synthesis and the structures were verified by X-ray crystallography.A model depicting the substrate binding site of the enzyme is proposed.
