Popis: A diastereo- and enantioselective propargylic substitution reaction between propargylic carbonates and α-substituted nitroacetates catalyzed by a Cu-pybox complex is described. This method allows the preparation of a series of non-proteinogenic quaternary α-amino acid precursors featuring two contiguous stereogenic centers and a terminal alkyne moiety in high yields with good to excellent diastereo- and enantioselectivities in most cases. The propargylated adducts were elaborated into a diverse set of quaternary α-amino acid derivatives.
