The developed two-step reaction sequence utilizes the Michael addition of α-substituted azlactones to a vinylidene bisphosphonate as the key step. The reaction proceeds under catalytic conditions with excellent regioselectivity. Subsequent, acid-mediated azlactone ring opening affords the target quaternary amino acids with good overall yields. Attempts to develop an enantioselective version of the synthetic strategy are described.enazlactonesquaternary amino acidsgeminal bisphosphonatesMichael additionbiologically relevant moleculesArtykuł
