Abstract
Both enantiomers of erythro-3-hydroxyleucine are available by asymmetric epoxidation of (E)-4-methyl-2-penten-1-ol (1) followed by ruthenium tetroxide catalyzed oxidation to the corresponding glycidic acid 3, epoxide opening by benzylamine, and hydrogenolysis using palladium hydroxide on carbon.Keywords
