Popis: Acid-catalyzed lactonization in dilute hydrochloric acid of N-substituted 2-amino-4-aryl-4-hydroxybutanoic acids with electron donating aryl substituents is stereoconvergent. The stereochemical outcome is controlled by the precipitation of little soluble cis-lactones, starting from both syn-2-amino-4-aryl-4-hydroxybutanoic acids and anti-2-amino-4-aryl-4-hydroxybutanoic acids or their mixtures. A highly diastereoselective two-step sequence (acid-catalyzed lactonization with CIAT process followed by alkaline hydrolysis) for the transformation of syn-3b–d to the corresponding anti-3b–d is reported.
