✦ Synopsis
Reported here is an efficient procedure for enantio-and diastereoselective synthesis of pure b-amino acids that display a tert-hydroxyl functionality in the a-position. Key steps include a catalytic asymmetric aldol reaction and a modified Curtius rearrangement to form oxazolidinone intermediates, which are chemoselectively opened to furnish N-protected a-hydroxy-amethyl-b-amino acids. A modified work-up procedure of the aldol reaction allows for recovery of up to 90% of bisoxazolinyl ligands from the catalysts.
