Notes:
A new route to completely protected α-methylated α-amino acids starting from alanine is described (see Scheme). These derivatives, which are obtained via base-catalyzed opening of the oxazolidinones (2S,4R)- and (2R,4S)-2, can be directly employed in peptide synthesis. The synthesis of both enantiomers of Z-protected α-methylaspartic acid β-(tert-butyl)ester (O4-(tert-butyl) hydrogen 2-methylaspartates (R) or (S)-4a), α-methyl-glutamic acid γ-(tert-butyl) ester (O5-(tert-butyl) hydrogen 2-methylglutamate (R)- or (S)-4b), and of Nε-bis-Boc-protected α-methyllysine (N6,N6-bis[(tert-butyloxy)carbonyl]-2-methyllysine (R)- or (S)-4c) is described in full detail.
