The asymmetric synthesis of protected (2R,3S)- and (2R,3R)-3-substituted 2,3-α-amino acids is reported. The key step in the synthesis of these compounds is the diastereoselective addition of Grignard reagents to α- amino nitrones derived from L-serine. Total stereocontrol of the addition step is achieved by changing the protecting groups in the starting material. The predominant selectivity in each case can be reasonably interpreted in terms of steric effects of the substituents.
