HIGHLY STEREOSELECTIVE APPROACH FOR β-HYDROXY-α-AMINO ACIDS FROM D-GLUCOSE : THE SYNTHESIS OF MeBmt

Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/S0040-4039(00)70672-1

A highly stereoselective protocol for the synthesis of β-hydroxy-α-amino acids from glucofuranose has been developed which has culminated in stereospecific synthesis of MeBmt - an unusual aminoacid component of immunosuppressive peptide cyclosporin.
