Two short syntheses of D-N-Boc-3,5-bis(isopropyloxy)-4-methoxyphenyl glycine, a central unit of vancomycin type antibiotics, have been developed. A diastereoselective Strecker reaction using (S)-phenylglycinol as a chiral inducer was the key step in the first synthesis, while Evans' electrophilic amination technology was employed for introducing both the amino function and the chirality in the second strategy.

The asymmetric synthesis of two appropriately functionalyzed non-proteinogenic amino acids 2 and 3 needed for the total synthesis of vancomycin was described.The assemblage of these amino acids into linear tripeptide followed by biary ether formation via intramolecular SNAr reaction led to the fully functionalized C-O-D ring vancomycin.
