Abstract

Abstract: A concise enantioselective synthesis of (2S,3S)-3-hydroxy-L-arginine with an overall yield of 10.9% and 98% ee, starting from commercially available 1,4-butanediol in ten linear steps has been achieved. The key chiral inducing steps are d-proline catalyzed sequential α-aminooxylation/Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons olefination of an aldehyde and the subsequent diastereoselective MOM-ether-directed Pd-catalyzed aza-Claisen rearrangement of allylic trichloroacetimidate.
