SYNTHESIS OF 2S,4S,5S-DIHYDROXYPIPECOLIC ACID AND BULGECININE [2S,4S,5R-4-HYDROXY-5-(HYDROXYMETHYL)PROLINE] FROM D-GLUCURONOLACTONE - A STRATEGY FOR THE SYNTHESIS OF 2S,4S-4-HYDROXY-ALPHA-AMINO ACIDS

The efficient synthesis of 4S,5S-2-(N-benzyloxycarbonyl)amino-5,6-dihydroxyhex-2-en-4-olide (4) from D-glucuronolactone is described, the potential of (4) as a divergent intermediate for the synthesis of 2S,4S-4-hydroxy-α-amino acids is illustrated by the conversion of (4) to 2S,4S,5S-dihydroxypipec...
