Enantiospecific synthesis of (R)- and (S)-2,3-diaminopropanol from L- and D-serine

Article abstract of DOI:10.1055/s-1996-4198

Both chiral forms of 2,3-diaminopropanol (6) have been prepared in a convenient 5-step synthesis based on the readily available N-benzyloxycarbonyl derivatives of the methyl esters of L- and D-serine.
