The first enantioselective synthesis of the amino acid, (2S,3S,4R)-gamma-hydroxyisoleucine using a palladium(II) catalysed 3,3-sigmatropic rearrangement.
A synthetic route towards the synthesis of (2S,3S,4R)-gamma-hydroxyisoleucine, the amino acid component of the natural product, funebrine has been developed using as the key step, a palladium(II) catalysed 3,3-sigmatropic rearrangement to create the (2S)-stereogenic centre.
