Base-catalysed deuteriation of (3R)- or (3S)-3-isopropyl-2.5-dimethoxy-3,6-dihydropyrazines in refluxing (CH3OH)-H-2-(H2O)-H-2 gives the [6-H-2(2)]-isotopomer in excellent yields without disturbing the stereogenic centre at C-3. These compounds provide convenient and efficient access to a range of (R)- and (S)-alpha-deuteriated alpha-amino acids, including serine, aspartic acid, allylglycine and phenylalanine, via alkylation of the butyllithium generated C-6 anion.
