## Abstract D, L‐4‐Oxo‐homotyrosine was synthesized by the acetylaminomalonic ester pathway. The optical resolution was carried out by means of the enzyme acylase I. The L‐configuration of the enzymatically produced amino acid was confirmed by degradation to L‐aspartic acid. 4‐Oxo‐homotyrosine obt

✦ Synopsis
The aromatic amino acid constituent of Echinocandin B: 3,4‐Dihydroxyhomotyrosine.
The antifungal antibiotic echinocandin B gave upon treatment of its tetrahydroderivative with anhydrous trifluoroacetic acid and subsequent methanolysis the tripeptide threonyl‐(4‐hydroxyprolyl)‐(4‐oxohomotyrosine) methyl ester (8), which could be hydrolysed to 4‐oxohomotyrosine (11). These facts together with the earlier described hydrolysis of the antibiotic to 1‐amino‐3‐p‐hydroxyphenyl‐2‐propanone (6) and the reductive hydrolysis to homotyrosine suggested the presence of 3,4‐dihydroxyhomotyrosine (14) as a constituent amino acid of echinocandin B. This was confirmed by a degradation of the intact tetrahydro‐polypeptide with perjodate yielding p‐hydroxybenzaldehyde and by the isolation of free 3,4‐dihydroxyhomotyrosine upon mild acidic treatment of the tetrahydro‐polypeptide.
