Abstract
Enzymatic strategies are reported for the synthesis of (2__R__,3__S__)‐3‐amino‐2‐hydroxy‐3‐phenylpropionic acid (ee > 98 %), a key intermediate of the side‐chain of Taxol^®^, by enzymatic hydrolysis in organic media. The new enzymatic cascade reaction, which took place through Candida antarctica lipase B‐catalysed deacylation followed by lactam ring‐opening of racemic cis‐3‐acetoxy‐4‐phenylazetidin‐2‐one with H~2~O in __i__Pr~2~O at 60 °C, resulted in two different enantiopure products (ee ≥ 98 %), one of them being the desired key intermediate for the side‐chain of Taxol^®^.

Tosylate 1, which features the vitamin D triene unit, was stereoselectively synthesized from commercially available starting materials. This key intermediate undergoes a very efficient one-pot, two-step reaction with tetrabutyl ammonium fluoride to afford vitamin D analogue 2, which bears a cyclic s
The BO-2502A side chain intermediate 3 was prepared via the diastereoselective lactamization of the in situ prepared amino diacid anhydride 14 as a key step. The diastereoselectivity of this step was found to be 53:1 (96% de).
