Novel anionic reagents for the stereoselective synthesis of γ-hydroxy-α-amino-acids. An X-ray crystallographic study of 2R(S)-benzoylamino-N-t-butyl-4R(S)-hydroxy-4-(4-methoxyphenyl)-3R(S)-methylbutanamide
Abstract
The isoxazoline trans-Ar[graphic omitted])CONHBut and oxime threo-ArCH(OH)CH(Me)C(NOSiMe2-But)CONHBut, prepared respectively from 4-methoxybenzaldehyde (ArCHO) and the anions MeCH
