Article abstract of DOI:10.1081/SCC-120002014

Racemic derivatives of α-amino acid β,γ-thioenol ethers have been synthesized from homoserine through a γ-elimination on a sulfoxide derived from aspartaldehyde. Optically active derivatives were efficiently prepared from L-methionine by a Pummerer like r
