5-Dibenzylamino-3-dimethylphenylsilyl-4-octanolides are prepared via homoenolate addition of (S)-N,N-dibenzylleucinal [(S)-2-dibenzylamino-4-methylpentanal] and metalated 3-dimethylphenylsilyl-2-propenyl N,N-diisopropylcarbamate, followed by oxidative lactonization. Subsequently, alkyl groups are introduced stereoselectively to the 2-position by means of enolate methodology to yield the title compounds, which are valuable intermediates in the synthesis of dipeptide isosteres.
