Resumen

The synthesis of a new threonine equivalent based on a bicyclic N,O-acetal substructure incorporating four stereogenic centres is developed from Boc-l-threonine methyl ester in one step. Its use as an excellent chiral building block was demonstrated in a new diastereoselective synthesis of α-methylthreonine by an α-alkylation reaction and in the synthesis of chiral α,β-dehydroamino acid derivatives, using the tandem retro-O-Michael/γ-alkylation reactions as key steps. © 2008 Elsevier Ltd.
