An asymmetric synthesis of fully protected (S)-Vigabatrin has been developed. The key intermediate in the sequence is enantiomerically pure N-Boc-5-phenyl-3-amino-1,2-diol 5a, obtained from (E)-5-phenyl-2-penten-1-ol by employing a catalytic Sharpless epo
A short enantioselective synthesis of N-Boc-α-amino acids from epoxy alcohols

, p. 7781 - 7784 (2007/10/02)
A new and efficient enantioselective synthesis of Boc-α-amino acids has been developed. Starting from an enantiomerically enriched epoxy alcohol the sequence involves a regioselective nucleophilic epoxide opening by diphenylmethylamine (benzhydrilamine), hydrogenolysis/ protection of the amino group, and oxidation of the diol moiety.
