✦ Synopsis
A Novel Three-Step Hydroxy-Deamination Sequence: Conversion of Lysine to 6-Hydroxynorleucine Derivatives.
-L-lysine (I) is converted into a series of totally protected derivatives such as (IV), which are oxidized with catalytic RuO 4 to give the corresponding acyl carbamates, e.g. (V). Selective reduction of the acyl carbamate is achieved only in the presence of a t-butyl ester, yielding the desired 6-hydroxynorleucine ester (VI). By contrast, methyl and ethyl ester analogues of (V) undergo competitive reduction of the ester moiety.
