Abstract

A convenient and efficient synthesis of series of new optically pure N-substituted α-amino esters starting from 2- methoxy-4-(2-propenyl) phenol (eugenol) and natural amino acids is described. This improved procedure offers a convenient and effective method to access some interesting molecules containing phthalimide, tosyl and alkenes functionalities.
