A chemoenzymatic approach to the synthesis of functionalized α-methyl α-substituted amino acids is detailed. This involves amidasemediated enzymatic resolution of α-methyl α-substituted side-chain ω-unsaturated amino acids followed by functionalization via cross-metathesis.

The invention relates to a process for amino acid synthesis, i.e., the preparation of side chain unsaturated α,α-disubstituted-α-amino acid derivatives with formula (1) wherein: * denotes a stereogenic C-atom PG represents an N-protecting group or the C-terminal part of an optionally protected amino acid or peptide chain; X represents an optionally substituted amine group or an alkoxy group; R1 represents an optionally substituted alkyl group; Ri represents R2 or R3; if Ri = R2 then Rii = R5 and if Ri = R3 then Rii = H; R2, R3 and R5 each independently represent H, an optionally substituted (cyclo)alkyl, (hetero)aryl, acyl, alkoxycarbonyl, cyano, di-alkylphosphonyl, oxiranyl group, a CHO group optionally protected as its acetal, or a group derived from an O-protected carbohydrate, or R2 and R5 may form together with the C-atorn to which they are attached an optionally substituted hydrocarbon ring, with the proviso that R2 , R3 and R5 do not all represent H at the same time. R4 represents H, an alkyl group or an aryl group; n represents an integer larger than or equal to 0, via a cross metathesis reaction between the corresponding amino acid derivative precursor and an (eventually substituted) alkene.
