The main drawback with the Garner aldehyde 1.53 is that an oxidation step is<br />

required to generate the a-arnino acid der formation <strong>of</strong> the penultimate fbamino alcohol,<br />

lirniting the type <strong>of</strong> side chain functionality that can be presento Racernization has aiso<br />

been observed during the oxidation to a-amino acids?<br />

1.3.4.2 Alanine PAnion Equivalents<br />

The utilization <strong>of</strong> the side chah <strong>of</strong> senne as a nucleophilic entity 1.a has been<br />

accomplished a number <strong>of</strong> ways with varying degrees <strong>of</strong> success. Alanine P-anion<br />

equivalents are outlined in figure 1.2.<br />

Sasaki et al. generated the p-anion <strong>of</strong> 1.58 derived from senne, <strong>and</strong> after reaction<br />

with various alkyl halides <strong>and</strong> subsequent desulhirization <strong>and</strong> reoxidation gave the<br />

desired alkyl a-amino acids in good yields with ~ 98% ee?<br />
