1.3.2.1 Meophilic Amination<br />

The diastereoselective synîhesis <strong>of</strong> Fhydroxy-a-amino acids €rom epoxides is<br />

particularly amenable to nucleophilic amination (Scheme 1.10). The Sharpless<br />

epoxidation provides a convenient route to both stereoisomers <strong>of</strong> the epoxides 1.24 <strong>and</strong><br />

1.25 which are subsequently protected as the carbarnate 1.26 <strong>and</strong> isomerized to the<br />

oxazolidinones 1.27 followed by straightforward deprotection to the p-hydroxy-a-amino<br />

acids generally in good yields <strong>and</strong> with high ~iiastereoselectivity.~~ Minor contamination<br />

is a result <strong>of</strong> nonregioselective ring opening <strong>of</strong> the epoxides 1.26 during oxazolidinones<br />

formation.<br />

Another route to p-hydroxy-a-arnino acids via epoxy allylic alcohols is by<br />

oxidation to the corresponding acid followed by epoxide opening by arnmonia, primary<br />

amines <strong>and</strong> hydrazines which avoid the regioselectivity problems desctibed in Scheme<br />

1.10 since attack is exclusively at C2 (Scheme 1.1 I)?<br />
