Synthesis of Diastereomerically Pure α-Alkylamino-β-hydroxy-carboxylates By reaction of methyl [alkyl(trichloroacetyl)amino]acetates 1 with trimethylsilyl trifluoromethanesulfonate (2) the N-alkyl-N-[2-methoxy-2-trimethylsiloxy)vinyl]trichloroacetamides 3 are obtained. Aldol reaction of 3 with carbaldehydes 4 yields erythro/threo mixtures of 2-[alkyl(trichloroacetyl)amino]3-aryl-3-(trimethylsiloxy)propanoates 5. On treating the latter with methanolic hydrochloric acid pure erythro-2-(alkylamino)-3-aryl-3-hydroxypropanoates besides threo-2-[alkyl(trichloracetyl)amino]-3-aryl-3-hydroxypropanoates are prepared.
