Ester enolate Claisen rearrangement of the N‐protected amino acid allylic esters 1 affords the corresponding chiral α‐allylic amino acids 2 in excellent yields and selectivities. The quinine used for the induction can be almost completely recovered in the workup. Recrystallization with 1‐phenylethylamine gives enantiomerically pure 2 . R = alkyl, phenyl.
