Three approaches to the synthesis of L-leucine selectively labelled with carbon-13 or deuterium in either diastereotopic methyl group as well as at C-3 and C-4 are described. In all three methods the stereogenic centre at C-2 was created with total stereocontrol via a one-pot, two-enzyme catalysed procedure involving hydrolysis and reductive amination of a 2-keto ester. However, the approaches vary in the synthesis of the isotopically labelled 2-keto esters and in the production of the stereogenic centre at C-4 which was achieved either via alkylation of a propionylated Evans' auxiliary with labelled iodomethane or by the diastereoselective conjugate addition of a labelled organocopper reagent to crotonate tethered to a chiral sultam. The latter approach proved most efficient and using the (1R,2S, 3R)-3-[N-phenylsulfonyl-N-(3,5-dimethyldiphenyl)aminobornan-2-ol ester 27, [5-13C]-L-leucine was prepared with >98% de at C-4 and in 49% overall yield from the first labelled intermediate 28.

(+)(S)-3-Trichloromethylbutyric acid, a building block for synthesis of various marine natural products, can be prepared via 99:1 stereoselective conjugate addition of Cl3CMgCl to the crotonate of a chiral auxiliary containing a sulfonylamino substituent.

Highly diastereoselective alkylations of propionates of chiral alcohols derived from (+)-camphor are described.It is demonstrated that steric shielding as well as cation complexation are important for stereoselection.The latter effects are in part rationa
