Alkylation of anions derived from dipeptides with a glycine at the C-terminus have been investigated.A hydrocarbon sedition in the N-terminal residue does impart some asymmetric induction.The use of a chiral ester derivative provides the potential for double asymmetric induction and good selectivity.With an aspartyl residue at the N-terminus, problems were encountered due to competing side reactions.The use of an azetidione could circumvent some of these, but the observed induction was not high.
