The synthetic strategy described provides a route to various Boc protected threo-<br />

P-dialkyl- <strong>and</strong> p-alkyl-$-hydroxy-a-arnino acids from the Boc-Ser(a1d)-OB0 ester 2.46<br />

<strong>and</strong> Boc-Thr(ket)-OB0 ester 2.47 synthons. Overall yieids ranged from 1640% <strong>and</strong> al1<br />

products had >96% ee. Diastereomeric purities ranged from 70:30 to 99: 1 threo:erythro;<br />

with ratios generally increasing with steric bulk <strong>and</strong> reduced reaction ternperatures.<br />

The overall yields <strong>and</strong> diastereoselectivity <strong>of</strong> Grignard additions to Boc-<br />

Ser(a1d)OBO ester 2.46 <strong>and</strong> Boc-Thr(ket)OBO ester 2.47 generaily correspond to those<br />

achieved for the analogous Fmoc <strong>and</strong> Cbz protected derivatives. In most cases, the<br />

diastereoselectivities are comparable to previously published methods (Section 2.1.3) but<br />

the method does not require harsh oxidation or deprotection steps. A variety <strong>of</strong><br />

sidechains have been readily introduced <strong>and</strong> deprotection to the free amino acid is easily<br />

achieved.
