Abstract

[formula: see text] The asymmetric synthesis of beta-hydroxy-alpha-amino acids is reported which relies on the use of alpha,beta-unsaturated aryl ester substrates and the dihydroquinyl alkaloid ligand system (DHQ)2-AQN to control the regio- and enantioselectivity of the asymmetric aminohydroxylation (AA) process. alpha,beta-Unsaturated ester substrates of type 1 have a significant effect on the substrate-ligand recognition event which results in a reversal of regioselectivity in the AA reaction.
