Asymmetric Synthesis of α‐Amino Acids and α‐N‐Hydroxyamino Acids from N‐Acylbornane‐10,2‐sultams: 1‐chloro‐1‐nitrosocyclohexane as a practical [NH] equivalent

Abstract
Successive treatment of N‐acylsultams 3 with sodium hexamethyldisilazide, 1‐chloro‐1‐nitrosocyclohexane (1), and aq. HCl gave diastereoisomerically pure, crystalline N‐hydroxyamino‐acid derivatives 5. These were converted into various amino acids 7, N‐hydroxyamino acids 8, and an N‐Boc‐amino acid 9. (S, S)‐Isoleucine (17) and (S, S)‐2‐acetamido‐3‐phenylbutyric acid (23) were obtained from N‐crotonoylsultam 15 via 1,4‐addition of an organomagnesium or organocopper reagent followed by enolate ‘amination’ with 1.
