Abstract
(2S,3S)-2-Acetoxy-3-methylvaleric acid (3) is prepared from L-isoleucine (2) with 96% retention of configuration. Compound 3 is converted to optically pure methyl D-alloisoleucinate (7) as its hydrochloride salt, via the methanesulfonate 5 and the azide 6 with 76% yield and 99.9% inversion. Subsequent protection-saponification-activation of 7, followed by reaction with the lithium enolate of methyl trimethylsilyl malonate and reduction, yields (3S,4R,5S)-N-(9-fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl) isostatine (12). (3S.4R,5S)-Isostatine is a characteristic unit of the didemnines 1.Keywords
