Abstract

We report the first example of the asymmetric synthesis of the β- substituted histidine, (2S,3S)-β-methylhistidine. A key in the synthesis is the use of the protecting group, 2-mesitylenesulfonyl (Mts-), for the imidazole ring to minimize epimerization during synthesis. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd.
