The Schiff bases 2 from protected D-galactodialdehyde 1 and methyl valinate, -leucinate, and -isoleucinate were diastereoselectively alkylated via the lithium derivatives 3.The asymmetric induction of the alkylation step varied from 23 to >95percent.Upon hydrolysis the alkylation products 5-7 furnished the optically active α-alkylated methyl (S)-valinates 8, -leucinates 10, and -isoleucinates 11.
