✦ Synopsis
Copper(salen) complex 1 has been found to catalyse the asymmetric alkylation of enolates derived from a variety of amino acids. There is a clear relationship between the size of the side chain in the substrate and the enantioselectivity of the process, so that the enantioselectivity decreases in the order alanine>aminobutyric acid>allylglycine>leucine>phenylalanine> valine. A transition state model which accounts for the influence of the size of the side chain on the enantioselectivity of the reactions is presented.
