Popis: O-Trimethylsilyl protected (R)-cyanohydrins 3 react with Reformatsky reagents from tert-butyl 2-bromoesters 4 and zinc dust (Blaise reaction) to give the corresponding addition products in high yields. Workup with an aqueous solution of NH4Cl at low temperature gives (4R)-tert-butyl 3-amino-4-trimethylsilyloxy-2-alkenoates (R)-5 without racemization. Hydrogenation of the alkenoates 5 to the corresponding tert-butyl β-amino-γ-hydroxyalkanoates 6, resulting in a mixture of two diastereoisomers, was only possible under special hydrogenation conditions. With HCl in dichloromethane compounds 6 cyclize to the corresponding β-amino-γ-hydroxybutyrolactones 8.
