✦ Synopsis


Highly enantioselective synthesis of (2R)-a-(hydroxymethyl)glutamate (1), a selective agonist of mGluR2 and 3, was achieved in short steps using an asymmetric version of the Strecker synthesis. This was converted into its a-methoxymethyland a-benzyloxymethyl derivatives 2 and 3, possible ligands as tools to investigate glutamate receptors, via protection of the sterically hindered amino group by means of phase transfer catalyst.

Two types of optically active itaconamates, a-ethyl 3-N-((R)-a'-methylbenzyl)itaconamate (MBEI) and a-N-((R)-a'-methylbenzyl)/3-ethyl itaconamate (EMBI) were synthesized from itaconic anhydride, (R)-amethylbenzylamine and ethanol. Radical polymerizations of MBEI and EMBI were performed in bulk and i
