A method for synthesis of C2-symmetric diamino diol mediated by titanium complexes is provided. A substituted-L-phenylalaninal undergoes pinacol coupling to yield the corresponding C2-symmetric (1S,2R,3R,4S)-1,4-diamino 2,3-diol in the presence of Cp2TiCl2/ZnCl2 and zinc metal, mediated in good yield and highly selective. This titanium-catalyzed reaction yields diaminodiol, offering a convenient alternative method to the synthesis of C2-symmetric peptidic protease inhibitors. Consequently, the method allows to synthesize TL-3 via titanium complex in moderate yield.
