Lactacystin (1), isolated in 1991, 1 has been a target of intense study recently due to its highly potent and selective inhibition of the 20 S proteasome. 2, 3 The first total synthesis of 1 was reported by the Corey group in 1992, and subsequent evolution of the synthesis and the preparation of the equally potent lactone analogue 2 have been described. 4 A variety of other synthetic approaches have appeared utilizing chiral sources such as D-glucose, 5 D-glutamic acid, 6 and an allylic alcohol derived from a Sharpless asymmetric epoxidation. 7 The 3-hydroxyleucine derivative, oxazoline 3, has been employed as a key intermediate in the total synthesis of lactacystin. Omura and Smith8 prepared 3 from (E)-4-methyl-3-penten-1-ol, also via Sharpless epoxidation, in 10 steps with 41% overall yield. Another route utilized a Sharpless asymmetric dihydroxylation of methyl 4-methyl-2-pentenoate with 70% ee, which could be improved to> 99% ee by one recrystallization. 9 The Panek group has recently communicated a more direct route from p-bromophenyl (E)-4-methyl-2-pentenoate utilizing an asymmetric aminohydroxylation reaction. 10 Regioselectivity was 7: 1 favoring the R-amino ester with 87% ee. And more recently, a chiral auxiliary-directed conjugate addition of O-benzylhydroxylamine (80% de), followed by aziridine formation, and ring opening, afforded a similar hydroxyleucine derivative. 11 MeBmt (4), another unusual R-amino--hydroxy acid, is an important constituent of cyclosporin. 12 The first synthesis of MeBmt from L-(+)-diethyl tartrate was reported by Wenger in 1983. 13 Since then, a number of synthetic approaches have appeared relying on asymmetric aldol reactions, 14 opening of chiral epoxides, 15 or beginning with natural chiral building blocks (D-isoascorbic acid, 16 L-glutamic acid, 17 D-2-deoxyribose, 18 D-glucose, 19 and D-serine20). Most recently, a stereoselective radical addition to a 2-oxazolone heterocycle was reported. 21 (1)(a) Omura, S.; Fujimoto, T.; Otoguro, K.; Matsuzaki, K.; Moriguchi, R.; Tanaka, H.; Sasaki, Y. J.
