A novel, and potentially versatile, procedure for the preparation of unsaturated α-amino acids in homochiral form is illustrated by the conversion of methionine into allylglycine (as its Boc, tert-butyl ester derivative) using the Ramberg-Baecklund reaction in the key step.
Synthesis of isotopically labelled amino acids

An efficient approach to the enantioselective synthesis of a series of amino acids from either bromoacetyl bromide or glycine is described using a [2,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement to establish the stereogenic centre at C-2 under mild conditions. Protected allylglycine 5 is a valuable building block to several amino acids e.g. hydrolytic cleavage of the auxiliary in 5 followed by deprotection gave L-allylglycine in 92% yield whilst oxidative cleavage of the terminal alkene followed by deprotection gave L-aspartic acid in 67% yield over the 2 steps. Furthermore alkene 5 may be converted to hydroxy ester 8 which is an intermediate for the synthesis of various amino acids including L-lysine and L-proline. Since the enantiomer of sultam 1 is commercially available, the analogous D-amino acids may be synthesised. This chemistry is readily adapted for the incorporation of isotopic labels for example for the synthesis of [1,2-13C2,15N]-L-homoserine 14. Copyright
Stereoselective synthesis of allyl- and homoallylglycines
Douat, Céline,Heitz, Annie,Martinez, Jean,Fehrentz, Jean-Alain

A new method for the synthesis of N-protected allyl- and homoallylglycines was developed from aspartic and glutamic acid derivatives. The carboxylic side-chains of aspartic and glutamic derivatives was first transformed into the Weinreb amide by coupling with N,O-dimethylhydroxylamine and then reduced into the corresponding aldehyde. The latter could react with methyl-triphenylphosphonium bromide to yield the title compounds with 50% total yield.
