Stereoselective synthesis of L-amino acids via Strecker and Ugi reactions on carbohydrate templates

Article abstract of DOI:10.1055/s-1991-26641

L-Amino acid derivatives are stereoselectively synthesized in high yield using 2,3,4-tri-O-pivaloyl-α-D-arabinopyranosylamine or 2,3,4-tri-O-pivaloyl-β-L-fucopyranosylamine as the chiral auxiliary in Strecker and Ugi reactions.
