Burkholderia cepacia lipase PS-IM catalysed the hydrolysis of racemic ethyl 3-amino-3-phenyl-2-hydroxypropionate with excellent enantioselectivity (E >200), when the reaction was performed with added H2O as a nucleophile, in iPr2O, at 50 °C. The hydrolysis of the less reactive enantiomeric ethyl 3-amino-3-phenyl-2-hydroxypropionate with 18% HCl afforded the corresponding enantiomerically pure (2R,3S)-3-amino-3-phenyl-2-hydroxypropionic acid hydrochloride, a key intermediate for the Taxol side chain.

3-Aryl-3-azido-2-hydroxypropanoic esters, prepared from the corresponding 3-aryl-oxirane-2-carboxylic esters by ring opening with sodium azide, were reduced with tin(II) chloride dihydrate in methanol to give 3-amino-3-aryl-2-hydroxypropanoic esters in good yields.Under these conditions, halogen substituents in the aromatic rings were not affected.The nitro group, however, was partially reduced to the amino group.Treatment of aliphatic oxirane-2-carboxylic esters with acetonitrile in the presence of boron trifluoride etherate led to regiospecific formation of 2,4-dialkyl-2-oxazoline-5-carboxylic esters, resulting from reaction of the nitrile at C3.Acidic hydrolysis of these oxazoline-5-carboxylic esters gave the corresponding 3-(acylamino)-2-hydroxy carboxylic esters.With these two complementary methods, both aryl- and alkyl-substituted β-amino α-hydroxy acid derivatives are accessible.

The synthesis of all isomers of 3-phenylserines and 3-phenylisoserines in enantiomerically pure form is presented.Diastereomerically pure educts (threo/erythro-2-azido-3-butanoyloxy-3-phenyl-propionic esters, threo/erythro-3-azido-2-butanoyloxy-3-phenylpropionic esters, threo-2-butanoylamino-3-butanoyloxy-3-phenylpropionic ester, erythro-3-butanoylamino-2-butanoyloxy-3-phenyl-propionamide) were prepared from cinnamic acid derivatives or via aldol condensations of benzaldehyde and suitable enolates in few steps.These racemates were resolved with lipases from Candida cylindracea (CC) and Pseudomonas fluorescens (P) and the obtained products were hydrogenated to 3-phenylserines and -isoserines.The influence of the acyl group in the enzymatic resolution of erythro-3-azido-2-acyloxy-3-phenylpropionic esters was investigated.
