A large laboratory scale synthesis of (S)-α-methylphenylalanine from benzaldehyde and methyl cyanoacetate has been developed. The synthesis is based on the following sequence: (i) preparation of racemic 2-cyano-2-methyl-3-phenylpropanoic acid, (ii) resolu

A strategy of highly selective alkylation of chiral 2-cyanoesters followed by the corresponding degradation process allows a divergent asymmetric synthesis of (R) and (S)-α-methylphenylalanine.
