Ih. Kim et Kl. Kirk, A convenient synthesis of 2-fluoro- and 6-fluoro-(2S,3R)-threo-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)serine using Sharpless asymmetric aminohydroxylation, TETRAHEDR L, 42(48), 2001, pp. 8401-8403
Ring-fluorinated beta -hydroxy alpha -amino methyl esters 3b,c were synthes
ized enantio selectively using Sharpless asymmetric amino hydroxylation. Th
ese were converted to 2-fluoro- and 6-fluoro-(2S,3R)-threo-(3,4-dihydroxyph
enyl)serine 1b,c using our previously published procedure. (C) 2001 Elsevie
