A practical telescoping three-step process for the syntheses of α-amino acids from the corresponding 1,2-diols has been developed. This process enables the direct synthesis of free α-amino acids without any protection/deprotection step. This method was also effective for the preparation of a 15N-labeled α-amino acid. 1,2-Diols bearing α,β-unsaturated ester moieties afforded bicyclic α-amino acids through intramolecular [3 + 2] cycloadditions. A preliminary study suggests that the resultant α-amino acids are resolvable by aminoacylases with almost complete selectivity.

A mild and efficient method for the synthesis of optically active α-hydroxy acids through chemoselective oxidation of monosubstituted ethylene glycols using the TEMPO-NaOCl reagent system is described. It is evident from our studies that the solvent, pH and reaction temperature are very crucial for the success of this oxidation. The versatility of this method has been demonstrated with a variety of aliphatic, aromatic and carbohydrate substrates bearing various functional groups. the Partner Organisations 2014.
