Asymmetric syntheses of L-homocysteine 1 and L-homocystine 2 are described. Alkylation of the carbanion derived from Schollkopf reagent 3 and ensuing hydrolyses gave S-triphenylmethyl-L-homocysteine 6. Removal of the triphenylmethyl group gave L-homocysteine 1 and subsequent oxidation provided L-homocystine 2.
