Abstract: Polymer-supported cinchona alkaloid salts with different spacers were used as phase transfer catalysts in the asymmetric C-alkylation of N-diphenyl methylene glycine t-butyl ester for the synthesis of phenylalanine. Various catalysts and alkylation conditions were studied, the best result being 81% ee with cinchoninium iodide bound to polystyrene with a four carbon spacer.
Keywords: a -amino acids, polymer-supported catalysts, asymmetric phase transfer catalysis
