ASYMMETRIC-SYNTHESIS OF BETA-AMINO-ALPHA-HYDROXY ACIDS VIA DIASTEREOSELECTIVE HYDROXYLATION OF HOMOCHIRAL BETA-AMINO ENOLATES

The highly diastereoselective conjugate addition of lithium N-benzyl-N-α-methylbenzylamide with enoate acceptors, and the electrophilic hydroxylation of the resultant β-amino enolates with (camphorsulfonyl)oxaziridine, is identified as a direct and general strategy for the asymmetric synthesis of ho...
