Discrimination among the four γ-hydroxyornithine diastereomers was studied by fast atom bombardment mass spectrometry (FABMS).It is impossible to distinguish among the four diastereomers of this amino acid by positive- and negative-ion FAB and collisionally activated dissociation MS, but benzyloxycarbonyl group protection of the α- and δ-amino groups in γ-hydroxyornithine allows differentiation among the diastereomers in negative-ion FABMS.The negative-ion mass spectra of benzyloxycarbonyl-protected γ-hydroxyornithine diastereomers showed differences among the abundances of the molecule ion (-), the dehydrated ion (-) due to the loss of the γ-hydroxyl group and the fragment ions formed from both (-) and (-) ions.On the other hand, no difference was found between the fragmentations of the benzyloxycarbonyl-protected enantiomers of ornithine in negative-ion FABMS.These results indicate that the orientation of the γ-hydroxyl group and the existence of two benzene rings in the benzyloxycarbonyl group are important factors which are responsible for the fragmentations of the four benzyloxycarbonyl-protected γ-hydroxyornithine diastereomers in negative-ion FABMS.These studies also showed that the negative-ion FABMS for benzyloxycarbonyl-protected γ-hydroxyornithine diastereomers is a useful method for determining the configuration of each diastereomer of γ-hydroxyornithine.

A general asymmetric synthesis of β-amino acids is based on the dipolar cycloaddition of nitrones 7 (R* chiral) with vinyl acetate 8a, ketene acetals 8b or α-chloroacrylonitrile 8c.The cycloadducts 9 are converted either directly (9b) or via the isoxazolidones 10 (9a, 9c) into the free β-amino acids 11.Diastereoselectivity at C-3 in the adducts 9 ranges between 2:1 and 11:1.The natural β-amino acids, β-lysine, β-leucine and β-phenyl-β-alanine, have been prepared in this way.
