Abstract

The efficient and practical asymmetric syntheses of the biologically important (S)-2-amino-8-oxodecanoic ester and its homologues have been achieved employing the Schöllkopf chiral auxiliary. Carbon-carbon bond formation between the appropriate alkyl bromide and the LDA generated anion of the Schöllkopf auxiliary, followed by hydrolysis provided the desired methyl ester of a long-chained keto amino acid in high yield with high selectivity.
