Abstract

A versatile, non-alkylative enantioselective synthesis of unsaturated α-amino acids based on the Sharpless asymmetric epoxidation has been developed. Enantiomerically enriched trans epoxy alcohols bearing unsaturated substituents were prepared and submitted to regio-and stereospecific ring-opening with p-methoxybenzylamine as a nucleophile, leading to anti-3- (p-methoxybenzylamino)-1, 2-diols which were further protected by reaction with Boc2O. ...
