A total synthesis of the novel neurotrophic agent(+)-lactacystin (1) has been achieved in 11 stepsand14% overall yield from (2R,3S)-3-hydroxyleucine[(+)-16]. The construction and bioassay of severalactive analogsare also described. A new asymmetric approach furnished the fourstereoisomers of 3-hydroxyleucine, as requiredstarting materials in high overall yield and enantiomericpurity.
