34. (a) To fund the lab development of the subsequent steps, we also developed the synthesis of amino ester 14. The synthesis involved a classical Erlenmeyer condensation of 2,4-difluorobenzyaldehyde with N-acetyl glycine, followed by azlactone ring-opening to afford the corresponding dehydroamino ester. Amino ester 14 was further obtained from the dehydramino ester in >99% ee through enzyme resolution or asymmetric hydrogenation approach.

44. Lower yield was due to the recovery of aldehyde starting material 12, which may be caused by the aldehyde enolization during the dianion 8 addition. The hypothesis was that the extra diisopropylamine might help suppress the enolization of the aldehyde.
