Asymmetric alkylation of ( S )‐Boc‐BMI ( 1a , BMI = 2‐ tert ‐butyl‐3‐methylimidazolidin‐4‐one) and its α‐methyl derivative 1b with 2‐fluoroallyl tosylate, subsequent mild acidic deprotection of the products 2a and 2b , and basic hydrolysis of the thus formed N ‐methylamides 4a and 4b gave ( S )‐2‐amino‐4‐fluoropent‐4‐enoic acid ( 5a ) and ( S )‐2‐amino‐4‐fluoro‐2‐methylpent‐4‐enoic acid ( 5b ). Basic hydrolysis of compound 4a was accompanied by partial racemization, which was overcome by applying a new stereoconservative deamidation procedure. The alkylated cis ‐configured product 2a formed under kinetic control epimerized on refluxing with 2 n NaOH to give the thermodynamically more stable trans isomer 9 . (© Wiley‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
