Preparation of (S)‐2‐Methylbutylamine and Synthesis of Chiral Isoleucine and Alloisoleucine

Abstract
A four‐step synthesis (45% total yield) of a mixture of chiral pure L‐isoleucine and D‐alloisoleucine is reported, via a route comprising anodic oxidation of suitable acylamide precursors. Efficient preparations for (s)‐2‐ methylbutylamine from the cheap parent (s)‐alcohol are described.
