commercially available (S)-oxazolidin-2-one and (R)-
Garner’s aldehyde) in 10 steps with 29% overall yield
better than that of Takeya’s method,11a one of the short-
est procedure in the literature (12 steps, 22% overall
yield). We have also demonstrated a short and efficient
stereoselective route to all stereoisomers of 3-hydroxy-
4-methylproline (HMP) starting from the aldol prod-
ucts. Different analogues of this class of cyclic peptides
are the focus of our ongoing work in order to study
the effect of this segment (HMP stereoisomers) on their
biological activity. Studies on the synthesis of other bio-
logically active natural products from Evans’ aldol ad-
ducts are in progress and will be reported in due course.
