Abstract

Sequential enolate alkylations of (S)- N(1)-methyl-5-methoxy-6-isopropyl-3,6-dihydropyrazin-2-one and ( S)- N( 1)- p-methoxybenzyl-5-methoxy-6-isopropyl-3,6-dihydropyrazin-2-one proceed with excellent levels of diastereoselectivity (> 90% de) affording quaternary alpha-amino acids in high enantiomeric excess (> 98% ee) after deprotection and hydrolysis.
