Two α‐amino acids containing the 1,2‐dicarba‐ closo ‐dodecaborane (12) cage, namely, 5‐(1,2‐dicarba‐ closo ‐dodecaboran (12)‐1‐yl)‐2‐aminopentanoic acid (1) and 5‐(2‐methyl‐1,2‐dicarba‐ closo ‐dodecaboran (12)‐1‐yl)‐2‐aminopentanoic acid ( 2 ), were prepared by asymmetric synthesis (e.p. > 98%) by using the chiral glycine equivalent, imidazolidinone 3 , introduced by Seebach, and Oppolzer's camphor‐derived sultam derivative 4 . The dextrorotatory enantiomers (sodium D line in methanol) of the amino acids 1 and 2 were both shown to have ( S ) configuration.
