Abstract
Imidazolides obtained from natural α-aminoacids react with a twofold excess of Grignard reagents to afford in satisfactory to good yields the corresponding NH-Boc protected α-aminoketones. Under optimized conditions the reaction with phenyl- and n-pentylmagnesium bromide required the addition of catalytic amounts of Cu(I)-salt which turned out to be unnecessary in the case of Buchi's Grignard.
