Reprotection <strong>of</strong> the azuidine 1.65 as the Cbz has allowed for various<br />

derivatizations. Okawa opened 1.65 (P=Cbz) with alcoholsn or thiolsgO in the presence <strong>of</strong><br />

boron trifluoride etherate to give the B-alkoxy or fhhioalkyl-a-arnino acids 1.66 in 57-<br />

98% yield (Scheme 1.27).<br />

Scheme 1-27<br />

Baldwin et have reported opening the p-nitrobenzoyl derivative <strong>of</strong> 1-65 with<br />

Wittig ylides to generate a mixture <strong>of</strong> two new ylides, with the C3 product 1-67<br />

predominating (Scheme 1.28). The ylide was then Mer reacted with paraformaldehyde<br />

or acetaldeh yde to give 4-methylene-(2gate derivatives 1.68.<br />

Scheme 1.28<br />

The most useful method for the synthesis <strong>of</strong> a-arnino acids based on alanine b-<br />

cation equivaients is the p-iactone methodology as developed by Vederas <strong>and</strong><br />

coworkemn Serine is cyclized under modified Mitsunobu conditions without<br />

racernization to give N-protected a-amino-fi-lactones 1.69 in 60-72 % yield (Scheme<br />

1.29). Ring opening with the desired alkyl-oxygen cleavage is achieved with s<strong>of</strong>t
