Enantioselective Synthesis of α-Amino Acids from Nitroalkenes. -Careful oxidation of the addition products (I) of (R)-4-phenyl-2-oxazolidine and nitroalkenes yields the acids (II) which can be easily cleaved to D-α-amino acids of high optical purity.

✦ Synopsis
The diastereoselective synthesis of α-amino esters from the glycine ester (I) employing the sulfonamides (II) as chiral auxiliaries works well for α-alkylation with methyl iodide. Ethylation, allylation, and benzylation proceeds with fair stereoselectivity, but pure diastereomers can be obtained by single recrystallization in good yields. The change of preferred stereoselectivity on alkylation of the glycine ester derivatives (III) is unexpected (cf. (IIIa) → (Vb) + (VIb) and (IIIa) → ( Vd) + (VId)). -(YEH, T.
