A simple and stereoselective synthesis of 3‐methylthalidomide, a configurationally stable thalidomide analog, is presented. Herein we describe the synthesis of ( R )‐3‐methylthalidomide starting from ( S )‐alanine by piperidin‐2‐one ring assembly approach in high yield and enantiomeric purity without using a chiral auxiliary or reagent. Starting from ( R )‐alanine, the corresponding ( S )‐3‐methylthalidomide can be prepared using the same methodology. Chirality 27:619–624, 2015 . © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
