A radical attack: In the presence of a protonated cinchonine derivative, radical addition reactions proceeded efficiently, providing a general approach to the synthesis of a diverse range of enantioenriched α,α- disubstituted α-amino acids.

(Chemical Equation Presented) A plausible origin of biomolecular homochirality is advanced, where α-methyl amino acids found on meteorites transfer their chirality in the synthesis of normal amino acids. This asymmetry can be amplified to nearly homochiral levels, thus providing the necessary prerequisite for life to start on this planet and elsewhere in the universe.
Chiral 2-cyano esters as synthetic intermediates in the synthesis of R and S-α-methylvaline
Cativiela,Diez-De-Villegas,Galvez,Lapena
, p. 5921 - 5928 (2007/10/02)
A divergent stereoselective synthesis of R and S α-methylvaline from (2RS) (1S,2R,4R)-10-dicyclohexylsulfamoylisobornyl 2-cyano-3-methylbutanoate has been developed.
