tert-Alkyl amino hydroxy carboxylic acids are abundantly present within the structure of many biologically active natural products. We describeherein the synthesis of these substrates using an oxazolone-mediated ene-type reaction with enol ethers followed by NaBH
4 reduction of theintermediate oxazolone.
