When leucine is prepared via amidomalonate synthesis, the by-product isobutylene is also formed and its mechanism needs to be drawn.

Concept introduction:

Amidomalonate synthesis is a process in which a halide is converted to a aminoacid with two new carbon atoms (comes from amidomalonate).  By use of this method a new alkyl groups can be introduced.  A general scheme of this synthesis is shown below,
