Concept introduction:
Asymmetric catalytic hydrogenation is a reaction in which the alkene substrate is reduced to a saturated compound by addition of two atoms of hydrogen. When chiral catalyst is used a enantioselective product is obtained. This technique uses a chiral catalyst so that the amino acids can be prepared with high enantiomeric excess.
The final step after hydrogenation is the hydrolysis of the protected group of
To find: the alkene taken for the synthesis of L-alanine using asymmetric catalytic hydrogenation.

Interpretation:
The alkenes required for the synthesis of given set of amino acids by asymmetric catalytic hydrogenation need to be identified.
