Stereoselective Synthesis of Diverse α-Hydroxy-β-amino Acids and It's Application for Synthesis of Dipeptide Expecting as a Protease Inhibitor

Abstract

Few α-hydroxy-β-amino acids were synthesized via various nucleophilic addition of the epoxide and followed by stereoselective nucleophilic substitution reaction and eliminative cleavage of the acetal selectively in diacetal compound. One of the synthesized α-hydroxy-β-amino acid reacted with L-leucine methylester to give corresponding dipeptide in good yields.
