A rhodium-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of challenging tetrasubstituted β-acetoxy-α-enamido esters was developed, giving chiral β-acetoxy-α-amido esters in high yields with excellent enantioselectivities (up to >99% ee). The products could be easily transformed to β-hydroxy-α-amino acid derivatives which are valuable chiral building blocks and a novel route for the synthesis of droxidopa was also developed.

Chiral β-hydroxy-β-arylalanine and β-methoxy-β-arylalanine derivatives, which occur widely in marine nature products, were stereoselectively synthesized with 99 % ee values. The two erythro isomers were prepared by L- or D-aminoacylase-catalyzed resolution of the corresponding N-acetyl derivatives, whereas the two threo isomers were obtained only by D-aminoacylase-catalyzed resolution of the derivatives. erythro-β-Hydroxy-β-arylalanine derivatives were prepared by diastereoselective hydrogenation of ethyl 2-(hydroxyimino)-3-oxo-3-arylpropanoates, which were in turn acquired by the oximation of ethyl 3-oxo-3-arylpropanoates with ethyl nitrite in the presence of nano-K2CO3 with yields of 72 % to 80 %. β-Methoxy-β-arylalanine derivatives were synthesized through Williamson reactions between the corresponding β-hydroxy-β-arylalanines and iodomethane with silver oxide as base.
