Reaction Steps

L-phenylalanine of the formula ##STR2## is reacted with phthalic anhydride, b) the resultant 3-phenyl-2(S)-phthalimidopropionic acid of the formula ##STR3## is converted into the corresponding acid chloride, c) the resultant 3-phenyl-2(S)-phthalimidopropionic acid chloride of the formula ##STR4## is reduced, d) the resultant 3-phenyl-2(S)-phthalimidopropan-1-al of the formula ##STR5## is transformed into the 1-cyano-3-phenyl-2(S)-phthalimidopropan-1-ol of the formula ##STR6## e) the resultant nitrile of the formula VI is hydrolysed, f) the 3(S)-amino-2-hydroxy-4-phenylbutyric acid formed of the formula ##STR7## is reacted with a low alkyl ester or the phenyl or benzyl ester of chloroformic acid,
