[摘要]:An efficient synthetic route to all four stereoisomers of alpha-methylthreonine has been established. Each type of stereoisomer has been isolated in diastereomerically pure form and with an enantiomeric excess of at least 86% ee. The key step in this multi-step synthesis is an enantioselective organocatalytic Steglich rearrangement reaction of O-acetylated azlactones. The Steglich rearrangement was also extended to other substrates. |
