The reactions of tert-butyl (S)-2-tert-butyl-3-methyl-4-oxo-1-imidazolidinecarboxylate (Boc-BMI) with methyl or ethyl crotonates afford a mixture of the corresponding 3-methylglutamic acid derivatives in 58% and 68% yield respectively; Diastereoselectivity of the reaction ranges from 20-40% de favoring (2S,3R)-configured diastereomers; for details see ref. 9.
