ASYMMETRIC-SYNTHESIS OF SYN-ALPHA-ALKYL-BETA-AMINO ACIDS

An investigation into the reactivity of the highly stereoselective conjugate nucleophile lithium N-benzyl-N-α-methylbenzylamide 1 with α-alkyl-α,β-unsaturated esters has led to the development of a versatile asymmetric synthesis of syn-α-alkyl-β-amino acids. By performing the conjugate additions in...
