Diastereoselective Synthesis of (–)-Bestatin, Epibestatin, Phebestin and (3S,4R)-4-Amino-3-hydroxy-5-phenylpentanoic Acid from an Aldehyde Derived from d-Phenylalanine

Abstract A convenient and efficient method for the synthesis of (–)-bestatin, epibestatin, phebestin, and (3S,4R)-4-amino-3-hydroxy-5-phenylpentanoic acid is reported. The key step is a proline-catalyzed α-hydroxylation of an aldehyde derived from d-phenylalanine, which leads to incorporation of a h...
