✦ Synopsis
The utility of lithium t-butyl-N-tosyloxycarbamate (LiBTOC) as a ( + )NHBOC synthon in highly diastereoselective reactions with chiral cis-aminoindanol derived amide cuprates is described. The diastereoselectivities of these reactions ranged from 96% to greater than 99%. The subsequent transformation of these adducts to a-amino acids is also described.

Highly diastereoselective alkylation (296% de) of a-lithiated N-[N'-bis(methylthio)---methyleneglycyl~-~-2,5-bis~methoxymethoxymethyl~pyrrolidine and subsequent hydrolysis gave a-amino acids of high optical purity. An unusual amino acid (2S,9\_S)-2-amino-8-oxo-9,10epoxydecanoic acid was synthesized
