An efficient and diastereoselective synthesis of α‐amino acids from readily available starting materials has been developed. The key feature of this reaction is an umpolung of a glycine‐derived enolate, providing an alternative approach for the synthesis of α‐amino acids. (© Wiley‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
