We describe a fast and practical enantioselective synthesis of (S)-N-Cbz-α-vinyl, phenylalanine, suitable for the preparation of different N-Cbz-α-vinyl aminoacids of both configurations. The new protocol exploits a Wittig reaction on highly enantiomeric enriched N-Cbz-α-formyl-α-alkyl amino esters, readily accessible from (l)-serine through a stereoselective alkylation of Seebach's oxazolidine, carried out with a significant improvement of the previously reported method. The synthetic scheme is suitable for gram scale preparation of the desired product with a 94% ee.
α-ALKYLATION OF SERINE WITH SELF-PRODUKTION OF THE CENTER OF CHIRALITY

The lithium enolate 6 of methyl (2R,4S)-2-t-butyl-3-formyl-oxazolidine-4-carboxylate (4b) derived from (S)-(+)-serine can be generated with LDA in THF solution at -75 deg C.Alkylations (9) and hydroxyalkylations (10,11) occur preferentially (>95:5) from the Re-face of the donor center (relative topicity lk).This stereochemical course is derived from the absolute configuration of 2-deuterio- and 2-methyl-serine (12,13) obtained through the enolate 6.
