Concept introduction:
The steps involved in the synthesis of leucine by acetamidomalonate method are i) Conversion of the diethyl acetamidomalonate to an enolate ion by treatment with a base ii) SN2 alkylation with a primary alkyl halide iii) Hydrolysis of the amide protecting group and ester groups by warming the alkylated product with aqueous acids.
The reaction can also be carried out using formaldehyde instead of an alkyl halide.
To give:
