SYNTHESIS OF THE SERINE EQUIVALENT, (2R) AND (2S)-AMINO-3-BUTENOL DERIVATIVES. SYNTHETIC APPROACHES TO THE METAL CHELATING POLY-AMINO ACID, "ASPERGILLOMARASMINE A"

Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/S0040-4039(01)80104-0

Chiral synthons, equivalent to the C₃ amino acid serine, were synthesized in both (2R) and (2S) form from D or L-methionine respectively; Utilization of this synthon in the construction of metal chelating poly-amino acid aspergillomarasmine A skeleton is presented.
