A stereoselective synthesis of a hydroxyethylene dipeptide isostere for Phe-Gly, (4S, 5S)-4-hydroxy-5-amino-6-phenylhexanoic acid, is described.The use of dibenzyl protecting groups on ketoamine 5 accounts for the selectivity on reduction.Also, the dibenzyl group plays a role in directing the introduction of a third chiral center.
