The highly diastereoselective samarium diiodide and D2O-promoted conjugate reduction of homochiral (E)- and (Z)-benzylidene and isobutylidene diketopiperazines (E)-5,7 and (Z)-6,8 has been demonstrated. This methodology allows the asymmetric synthesis of methyl (2S,3R)-dideuteriophenylalanine 27 in ≥95% de and >98% ee, and (2S,3R)- or (2S,3S)-dideuterioleucine-(S)- phenylalanine dipeptides 37 and 38 in moderate de, 66% and 74% respectively. A mechanism is proposed to account for this process. The Royal Society of Chemistry 2005.

An asymmetric synthesis of homochiral α-amino acids has been developed which is based on the conjugate addition of organocuprates to the dehydroalanine equivalent (3S)-N,N′-bis(p-methoxybenzyl)-3-isopropyl-6-methylenepiperazine-2,5-dione 6.
