A stereo‐divergent synthesis of natural and unnatural opines in stereochemically pure form is based on the direct palladium‐catalyzed N‐allylation of α‐amino acid esters (up to 97 % ee or 99 : 1 d.r.) using methyl (E)‐2‐penten‐4‐yl carbonate in the presence of only 1 mol% of a catalyst, prepared in‐situ from the C 2 ‐symmetric diphosphine i Pr‐MediPhos and [Pd(allyl)Cl] 2 . Selected target compounds (incl. a derivative of the drug enalapril) were efficiently obtained from the N‐allylated intermediates by oxidative cleavage (ozonolysis) of the allylic C=C bond under temporary N ‐Boc‐protection.
