Notes:
L-Aspartic acid by tosylation, anhydride formation, and reduction with NaBH4 was converted into (3S)-3-(tosylamino)butan-4-olide (8; Scheme 1). Tretment of 8 with ethanolic trimethylsilyl iodide gave the N-protected deoxy-iodo-β-homoserine ethyl ester 9. The latter, on successive nucleophilic displacement with lithium dialkyl-cuprates ( → 10a-e), alkaline hydrolysis ( → 11a-e), and reductive removal of the tosyl group, produced the corresponding 4-substituted (3R)-3-aminobutanoic acids 12a-e (ee 〉 99%). Electrophilic hydroxylation of 8 ( → 19; Scheme 3), subsequent iodo-esterification ( → 21; Scheme 4), and nucleophilic alkylation and phenylation afforded, after saponification and deprotection, a series of 4-substituted (2S, 3R)-3-amino-2-hydroxybutanoic acids 24 including the N-terminal acids 24e ( =3) and 24f ( =4) of bestatin and microginin (de 〉 95%), respectively.
