The synthesis of (25,3R)-2-amino-3-hydroxybutyrolactone, a precursor of the monobactam antibiotic Carunoman, has been accomplished in three steps involving the use of L-threonine aldolase.
Enzymatic synthesis of ω-carboxy-β-hydroxy-(l)-α-amino acids

Commercially available ω-carboxy-aldehydes and glycine have been subjected to the catalytic action of an l-threonine aldolase from Escherichia coli to give the corresponding β-hydroxy-α-(l)-amino acids as a mixture of erythro/threo epimers. Specifically, the reaction with glyoxylic acid (2) gave the epimeric β-hydroxy-(l)-aspartates (t,e)-9 that could be isolated by ion-exchange chromatography in 67% yield. Following esterification and N-Boc protection, the two epimers could be isolated as pure compounds. Similarly, the aldolase-catalyzed addition of glycine to succinic semialdehyde (4) gave the expected mixture of β-hydroxy-l-α-aminoadipic acids (t)-12 and (e)-12 in 34% yield.

L-Threonine aldolase catalyzes the aldol condensation of γ-benzyloxybutanal and glycine with high erythro/threo selectivity under a kinetically controlled condition. The erythro product was used in the synthesis of mycestericin D, a potent immunosuppressant.
