The title heterocycle is prepared in enantiomerically pure form and in 46-50% overall yield from (S)-asparagine, a readily available starting material. The synthetic route described in this report represents a major improvement over the original procedure (Tetrahedron: Asymmetry 1991, 3, 723), that afforded a 24-32% overall yield. Furthermore, the use of toxic reagents such as Pb(OAc)4 and dimethyl sulfate is avoided in the present protocol.
Preparation and Assignment of Configuration of 1-Benzoyl-(2S)-tert-butyl-3-methyl-perhydropyrimidin-4-one. Useful Starting Material for the Enantioselective Synthesis of α-Substituted β-Amino Acids

(S)-Asparagine, an inexpensive β-amino acid was converted into the title heterocycle (+)-1 in very good overall yield.The highly selective trans methylation of (+)-1-Li, and the hydrolysis of the resulting adduct afforded (R)-α-methyl-β-alanine, allowing the assignment of the (S) configuration in (+)-1.
