Abstract
The invention relates to a method for the synthesis of two isomers, at function OH, alone or in mixtures, of amino acids α or the derivatives thereof, having general formula (B), wherein: linkage C—O of the 4-position carbon (represented by symbol) denotes one or other of isomers III or IV, or mixtures thereof. Moreover, R1 and R2 represent: a hydrogen atom; or either R1 or R2 represents a hydrogen atom and the other substituent is a radical Ra, an acyl group —CORa, such as acetyl, or a functional group —COORa, —SO2Ra, —N (Ra, Rb), Ra and Rb, which are identical or different, representing a C1-C12 linear or branched alkyl radical, optionally substituted, an aryl group with one or more aromatic rings and heterocycles, comprising between 5 and 8C, optionally substituted, or aralkyl, the alkyl substituent and the aryl group being as defined above; or R1 and R2 both represent a substituent as defined above. R3 represents a hydrogen atom or Ra and R4 has the significance of Ra. The invention is characterised in that it comprises: the isomerisation of a compound having formula (I), wherein R1, R2, Ra, R3 and R4 are as defined above, such as to produce a compound having formula (II); and …
