Abstract

The present invention relates to a process for the preparation of an oxazoline compound which is easily chemically converted to a beta-amino-alpha-hydroxy acid or a gamma-amino-beta-hydroxy acid. The method comprises producing a compound of the following formula (4) using .alpha.-amino acid. The produced compound (4) is subjected to an intramolecular cyclization to produce an oxazoline compound of the following formula (3). The oxazoline compound (3) is oxidized at a vinyl group with RuCl.sub.3 or NaIO.sub.4 to produce an oxazoline compound of the following formula (1) which is easily chemically converted to a beta-amino-alpha-hydroxy acid. Alternatively, the oxazoline compound (3) may also be treated with 9-borabiclo[3.3.1]nonane such that a hydroxy group is introduced into the end of the vinyl group of the oxazoline compound(3). The introduced end hydroxy group is oxidized with RuCl.sub.3 or NaIO.sub.4 to produce an oxazoline compound of the following formula (2) which is easily chemically converted to a gamma-amino-hydroxy acid.
