We report here on the use of ethyl nitroacetate as a glycine template to produce α-amino esters. This started with a study of its condensation with various arylacetals to give ethyl 3-aryl-2-nitroacrylates followed by a reduction (NaBH4 and then zinc/HCl) into α-amino esters. The scope of this method was explored as well as an alternative with arylacylals instead. We also focused on various [2 + 3] cycloadditions, one leading to a spiroacetal, which led to the undesired ethyl 5-(benzamidomethyl)isoxazole-3-carboxylate. The addition of ethyl nitroacetate on a 5-methylene-4,5-dihydrooxazole using cerium(IV) ammonium nitrate was also explored and the synthesis of other oxazole-bearing α-amino esters was achieved using gold(I) chemistry.

A novel method for the SN2 reaction on quaternary carbon atoms using bis(p-nitrophenyl)phosphorazidate has been developed. Chiral tertiary alcohols were directly converted into the corresponding chiral tertiary azides with complete inversion of configuration. Several α,α-disubstituted α-amino esters or amino acids were prepared through the conversion of azides to the corresponding amines by catalytic hydrogenation.
Transforming natural amino acids into α-alkyl-substituted amino acids with the help of the HOF·CH3CN complex

(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.
