Abstractβ‐Amino acids are key structural elements in unnatural peptides, peptidomimetics, and many other physiologically active compounds. In view of their importance, we have developed an efficient synthetic route that provides highly enantiomerically enriched (R)‐ and (S)‐H‐β2‐htLeu‐OH via highly diastereo‐ and regioselective addition of tert‐butyl radical to enantiomerically pure N‐fumaroyloxazolidinones, followed by removal of the chiral auxiliary, Curtius rearrangement, ester hydrolysis, and catalytic hydrogenolysis.
