Abstract
Crystalline N‐hydroxyamino‐acid derivatives 4, readily available from non‐chiral acyl chlorides 2 and sultams 1, were treated with aldehydes in the presence of NaBH~3~CN to give N‐alkylhydroxylamines 5. N,O‐Hydrogenolysis of 5 and saponification of 6 furnished (S)‐N‐alkylamino acids 7 in high optical purity. Similarly, (R)‐N‐alkylamino acids 12 were obtained from the antipodal acylsultams 8.
