Abstract

Abstract Chiral N-protected β-amino alcohols are easily obtained by NaBH 4 reduction of mixed anhydrides of N-protected α-amino acids in an organic/aqueous medium. The alcohols obtained from side chain or main chain reduction of N-protected aspartic acid are converted in good yields into lactones.
