All four isomers of a novel β ‐branched unusual amino acid were designed and synthesized with high stereoselectivity (>90% de ) and in 33% –44% overall yields by the use of 4( R / S )‐5,5‐dimethyl‐4‐phenyl‐oxazolidin‐2‐one as the chiral auxiliary via asymmetric 1,4‐Michael addition, direct or indirect azidation, hydrolysis and hydrogenation reactions.
