✦ Synopsis


The hydroxy amino acid moiety of AI-77-B (1) has been prepared as its protected form 2 from the (R)-glyceric acid derivative 3 in an efficiently stereoselective manner through the direct C-acylation using diphenyl phosphorazidate and the hydroxy-directed hydrogenation.

Al-77-B having a unique gastroprotective activity has been isolated from a culture broth of Bacillus pumilus Al-77 and its absolute stereostructure 1 has been determined by Shimojima and co-workers.4 The unique structure 1 can be constructed from the dihydroisocoumarin part A and the hydroxy amino acid side chain B. We report herein a highly stereoselective synthesis of the protected form 2 of the hydroxy amino
