The disubstituted analogs of taurine, (±)-erythro- and (±)-threo-2-amino-1,2-diphenyl-ethanesulfonic acids were prepared from (±)-cis- and (±)-trans-2-benzyl-3,4-diphenyl-1,2-thiazetidine 1,1-dioxides, respectively, by diastereoselective hydrolysis of the sulfonamide bond, followed by N-debenzylation.
