salen-metal complexes have been tested as catalysts for the C-alkylation of aldimine Schiff's bases of alanine esters with alkyl bromides under phase-transfer conditions (solid sodium hydroxide, toluene, ambient temperature, 1–10% of the catalyst). The best catalyst, which was derived from a Cu(II) complex of (1R,2R or 1S,2S)-[N,N′-bis(2′-hydroxybenzylidene)]-1,2-diaminocyclohexane, gave α-methyl-α-amino
