We report the synthesis of syn-alpha,beta-dialkyl beta-amino acid derivatives suitably protected for solid-phase synthesis that give rise to residues containing positively charged lysine-like side chains. These amino acids, as well as syn-alpha,beta-dialkyl beta-amino acids that contain diverse hydrophobic side chains, are prepared in good de and ee. The key step in this route involves Davies's protocol for the conjugate addition of a chiral lithium amide to alpha,beta-unsaturated tertbutyl esters (Davies, S. G.; Ichihara, O.; Walters, I.A.S.J. Chem. Soc., Perkin Trans. 1 1994, 9, 1141). syn-alpha,beta-Dialkyl beta-amino acids are interesting building blocks because of their sheet-forming propensity and because of their presence in bioactive compounds.
