(R)- or (S)-benzyl 4-formyl-2,2-dimethyl-3-oxazolidinecarboxylate (7a) and (R)- or (S)-1,1-dimethylethyl 4-formyl-2,2-dimethyl-3-oxazolidinecarboxylate (7b), readily available from serine, react with Wittig reagents to give alkenes 8. Selective deprotection followed by oxidation of the resulting unsaturated amino alcohols 9 provides vinylglycines 5 of defined configuration (> 95% ee) and double-bond geometry. D-Vinylglycines are obtained from L-serine, and conversely, D-serine gives beta,gamma-unsaturated amino acids with the L configuration. The double-bond geometry is controlled by the nature of the phosphorous ylide employed. The scope and limitations of this new methodology for the preparation of chiral vinylglycines is examined.

New, improved conditions for Z selective Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons olefinations with Ando's bis(o-methylphenyl)phosphonates are reported. A combination of NaH and Nal affords Z olefins in up to >99:1 selectivity and good yields. (C) 2003 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
