Flexible, Phase-Transfer Catalyzed Approaches to 4-Substituted Prolines
A range
of 4-substituted prolines can be rapidly synthesized from
a protected glycine Schiff base in only four steps and in 27–55%
overall yield. Phase transfer catalysis allows direct access to both
enantiomeric series, and the relative stereochemistry at the 4-position
is readily controlled (>10:1 dr) through the choice of hydrogenation

Two Highly Effective Phase-Transfer Catalysts for the Enantioselective Synthesis of ?-Amino Acid Derivatives
In this paper we review our recent studies into the phase-transfer catalysed asymmetric alkylation of glycine imines using quaternary ammonium salt catalysts derived from dihydrocinchonidine and ?-methylnaphthylamine
