Abstract

Highly functionalized l-serine-derived organolithium reagents have been generated and reacted with a variety of electrophiles, delivering novel enantiomerically pure adducts. These adducts were then converted into homochiral amino alcohols and novel nonproteinogenic α-amino acids, including an aspartic acid mimic that has been synthesized in an enantiomerically pure form for the first time.
