Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of 62.3 mg (0.25 mmol) of (R)-2-t-butoxycarbonylamino-3-phenylpropanal [synthesized by the method described in Journal of Medicinal Chemistry, 130, 1162 (1987)] in 1.0 ml of THF was added at 0° C., 0.27 ml (5 mmol) of nitromethane, followed by dropwise addition of 0.5 ml (0.025 mmol) of the lanthanum/(R)-1,1'-bi-2-naphthol complex solution (Reference Example 1, 0.05 mol/l). The resultant mixture was stirred at 0° C. for 2 hours. To this solution were added 0.5 ml of 1N hydrochloric acid and 3 ml of water. The mixture was extracted with diethylether, the extract was washed with a saturated aqueous solution of sodium chloride and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, and the solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silicagel column chromatography (eluent; n-hexane-ethyl acetate 8:2) to give 47 mg of (2S,3R)-3-t-butoxycarbonylamino-1-nitro-4-phenyl-2-butanol. Yield 60%. (2S,3R)-3-t-Butoxycarbonylamino-1-nitro-4-phenyl-2-butanol:
