07 - 094Stereoselective Synthesis of Non Symmetric DihydroxyethyleneDipeptide Isosteres via Epoxyalcohols Derived from α-Amino Acids.— A novel approach to dihydroxyethylene isosteres potentially useful for newHIV-protease inhibitors is developed. Key step in the synthesis is a regio-and stereoselective reaction of the epoxyalcohol (I) with diethyl aluminumcyanide (II). — (BENEDETTI, FABIO; MAGNAN, MONICA; MIERTUS,STANISLAV; NORBEDO, STEFANO; PARAT, DJIANA; TOSSI, ALESSAN-DRO; Bioorg.
