Abstract
Chelated enolates are good nucleophiles for reactions with acyl halides and imidazolides affording α-amino-β-keto esters. In most cases, the reactions are over after a few minutes and preparatively useful yields are obtained, independent of the protecting groups and electrophile used. With chloroformates as acylating agents, protected amino malonates become accessible.
