Oxygen alkylation of Schiff base derivatives of amino acids
O'Donnell,Cook,Rusterholz
, p. 989 - 993 (2007/10/02)
Higher imine esters 1a-h and 7a-b of amino acids and dipeptides are prepared in 68-91% yield by saponification of the benzophenone Schiff base methyl esters 3a-d and 6 using phase-transfer techniques followed by O-alkylation with an alkyl halide. The procedure occurs with retention of configuration at the α-carbon except with phenylglycine derivatives.
