We report an efficient synthesis of protected (2<i>S</i>,3<i>R</i>)-3-hydroxy-3-methylproline that proceeds in three steps with complete stereoselectivity. This route represents a significant improvement over previous approaches to this noncanonical amino acid. Key to this success is the development of a one-pot chemoenzymatic procedure for the preparation of (2<i>S</i>,3<i>S</i>)-3- methylproline from L-isoleucine. This work lays the foundation for future chemoenzymatic syntheses of polyoxypept ...[more]
