The (3S,6S)-2,5-dimethoxy-3,6-dimethyl-3,6-dihydropyrazine (7) is obtained from cyclo-(L-Ala-L-Ala) 5 (93-95percent optically pure) and trimethyloxonium tetrafluoroborate.With butyllithium the lithio derivative 8 is formed which reacts with alkyl halides in good chemical yields and with more than 90percent diastereoselectivity, whereby R-configuration is induced at C-3.A model concept is discussed, which explains the remarkably high asymmetric induction. - Hydrolysis (0.25 N HCl, room temp.) gives L-alanine methyl ester (4) and the (R)-α-methyl amino acid methyl esters 13.The two amino acid esters are separable by distillation or chromatography.
