Ultrasound promoted enantioselelctive decarboxylative protonation reaction of α-aminomalonate hemiesters 1 in the presence of chiral cinchona-derived squaramide Bronsted bases under mild conditions afforded both the (S) and (R) enantiomers of α-amino acid derivatives 2 in excellent yields (>90%) and excellent enantioselectivities (up to 98% ee).
