Crystalline N ‐hydroxyamino‐acid derivatives 4 , readily available from non‐chiral acyl chlorides 2 and sultams 1 , were treated with aldehydes in the presence of NaBH 3 CN to give N ‐alkylhydroxylamines 5 . N , O ‐Hydrogenolysis of 5 and saponification of 6 furnished ( S )‐ N ‐alkylamino acids 7 in high optical purity. Similarly, ( R )‐ N ‐alkylamino acids 12 were obtained from the antipodal acylsultams 8 .
