✦ Synopsis
All the four individual isomers of R-methylphenylalanine have been synthesized in very high optical purities by utilizing in part the chiral imide enolate bromination methodology of Evans and co-workers.
Substitution of the diastereotopic X-hydrogens of many a-amino acids provides inprinciple, an approach to topographic control of peptide structure. Asymmetric synthesis of the desired amino acids is needed to facilitate these studies.
In this letter, we detail our approachi to the successful synthesis of all the four individual isomers of X-methylphenylalanine in very high optical purity.
In the recent years, several methods have been developedz*3 for the asymmetric synthesis of o-aminoacids. Among them, the elegant method of Evans and co-workers3
