A convenient and versatile enantioselective synthesis of biologically important α-quaternary amino acid derivatives was based on the sequential double alkylation or arylation of dimethyl malonate, followed by desymmetrization with porcine liver esterase (PLE) and Curtius rearrangement. The PLE-mediated hydrolysis of the prochiral dialkylated malonate diesters produced the corresponding chiral half-esters
