C. Cativiela et al., ASYMMETRIC-SYNTHESIS OF 3,3-DIPHENYL-2-METHYLALANINE, A NEW UNUSUAL ALPHA-AMINO-ACID FOR PEPTIDES OF BIOLOGICAL INTEREST, Tetrahedron, 50(32), 1994, pp. 9837-9846
A strategy of highly stereoselective enolate trapping of lithium lsulf
amoylisobornyl-2-cyano-3,3-diphenylpropanoate combined with the approp
riate rearrangement process allows the asymmetric synthesis of a novel
a-methyl amino acid derived from 3,3-diphenylalanine (Dip).
