A chiral lithium binaphtholate catalyzes the enantioselective amination of α-alkyl-β-keto esters with azodicarboxylates to produce optically active α,α-disubstituted α-amino acid derivatives in high yields and with good to high enantioselectivities. A stoichiometric amount of lithium hydroxide efficaciously improved both the reactivity and enantioselectivity of amination. The resulting aminated product is readily convertible to L-carbidopa.

A stereoselective synthesis of l-carbidopa in seven steps and 50% overall yield from commercial compounds is described. The key step involves a highly enantioselective α-amination reaction of an acyclic β-ketoester with di-tert-butyl azodicarboxylate indu
