Abstract
Two threo-3-hydroxy-4-amino acids, dl-4-amino-3-hydroxy-6-methylheptanoic acid (1) and dl-4-amino-3-hydroxy-2-methyl-5-(3-pyridyl)pentanoic acid (2), the optically active forms of which had been isolated by the acid hydrolysis of some antibiotics, were synthesized stereoselectively from L-leucine and DL-3-(3-pyridyl)alanine respectively through 2-pyrrolidinone intermediates.
