Improved asymmetric syntheses of the title compounds are reported. Both products are produced through diastereoselective alkylation of malic acid; (R)-homocitrate synthesis uses the self-regeneration of stereocenters approach. Both procedures represent an improvement in yield over existing methods without loss of stereoselectivity. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
