An Organocatalyzed enantioselective synthesis of (2S,3R,4S)-4-hydroxyisoleucine and its stereoisomers

J Org Chem. 2010 Apr 16;75(8):2745-7. doi: 10.1021/jo100233u.

Abstract

A concise enantioselective total synthesis of (2S,3R,4S)-4-hydroxyisoleucine and its stereoisomers is described. A key feature of this protocol is a catalytic enantioselective mannich reaction that is either anti- or syn-selective as genesis of chirality.
