Click the reaction arrow in sequence to view the 3D models and animations respectively

Alanine and valine are converted to a cyclic dioxopiperazine followed by double methylation to form the bis-lactim. Deprotonation and highly diastereoselective alkylation opposite the bulky isopropyl group completes the reaction. Acidic hydrolysis leads to formation of the alkylated amino acid.
