A simple and general protocol for the enantioselective preparation of gamma-keto acids and heterocyclic gamma-keto acids which have an alkyl group at C-2 is reported. The alkyl group is introduced by chiral alkylation using a scalemic 2-triflyloxy ester. The alkylation takes place with inversion of configuration and is compatible with a variety of alkyl groups. This methodology is thus well-suited for the preparation of a wide variety of ketomethylene peptide isosteres.
