Abstract

In our continuing studies directed toward the synthesis of vancomycin and related glycopeptide antibiotics, nonproteinogenic amino acids are required as the subunits. For this purpose, compounds 1a-d were synthesized from commercially available materials via standard wellestablished asymmetric azidation chemistry. 1 Conversion of these compounds to arylglycine and arylalanine subunits for the aforementioned target ...
