A short enantioselective synthesis of protected L-3-hydroxy-4-methoxy-5-methyl phenylalanine and its corresponding aldehyde - a common subunit of ecteinascidin-743, safracin and congeners
An asym. synthesis of appropriately protected L-3-hydroxy-4-methoxy-5-Me phenylalanine from 3-methylcatechol is described featuring a key enantioselective alkylation step. [on SciFinder (R)]
