%X A range of oxazolidinones derived from N-carbamoyl &#945;-amino acids were prepared by an efficient method as key intermediates in the synthesis of N-methyl amino acids and peptides. The method was readily applied to most &#945;-amino acids except those with basic side chains. The oxazolidinones were converted by reductive cleavage into N-methyl &#945;-amino acids.
