β¦ Synopsis
Abstmctz A convenient new asymmetric synthesis of both enaatiomcrs of eryrhro-3-hydroxylcuciae is desctibed. The key steps involve Sharpless asymmetric dihydroxylation (AD) of a&unsaturated ester 3, cyclic sulphate formation from the resulting diol, SNZ reaction with sodium azide, deesterification with aqueous sodium hydroxide, and hydrogenolysis. Utilising this route, (2S,3S)-(+> 3-hydroxyleucine (1) was obtained in 97% ee and 67% overall yield; the (2R,3R)-(-)-enantiomer was isolated in 92% ee and 57% overall yield.

The synthesis of 3-prolinomethionine can be easily achieved in a diastereoselective and enantioselective way via zinc-enolate cyclisation. After transmetallation by CuCN.2LiCI, the zinc--copper derivative was reacted with S-methyl methanesulfonothioate leading in a "one-pot" procedure, to N-(0t-meth
