ASYMMETRIC SYNTHESIS OF UNUSUAL AMINO ACIDS: SYNTHESIS OF OPTICALLY PURE ISOMERS OF β-METHYLPHENYLALANINE

Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/S0040-4039(01)93366-0

All the four individual isomers of β-methylphenylalanine have been synthesized in very high optical purities by utilizing in part the chiral imide enolate bromination methodology of Evans and co-workers.
