Abstract

The (–)--and (–)--isomers of 2, 3-dihydroxy-3-methylpentanoicacid (I) have been synthesised. The (–)--isomer has been shown to have the absolute configuration 2, 3 and to be identical with the naturally occurring (–)-acid, a precursor of isoloucine (II), and with the esterifying acid of the pyrrolizidine alkaloid St
