The methyl analogue of Garner's aldehyde, N-tosyl-4-methyl-N,O-isobutyrylideneserinal, has been prepared in a one-step reaction by CuClO4-catalyzed aziridination of 2-isopropyl-5-methyl-4H-1,3-dioxin with N-tosyliminophenyliodinane and transformed into α-methylserine derivatives, e.g. α-vinylalanine.
