3-amino-2-oxetanecarboxylic acid (oxetin) is described. The oxetane core is built using a Paternò–Büchi photochemical [2 + 2] cycloaddition; from the key intermediates, complementary resolution protocols provide access to enantiomerically pure oxetin and epi-oxetin on gram-scale.

[GRAPHICS]The unique reactivity of 2-methyleneoxetanes and 1,5-dioxaspiro[3.2]hexanes has been exploited for the synthesis of epi-oxetin (26), an oxetane-containing beta-amino acid. While the preparation of the natural product oxetin (1) was the original goal, the unexpected diastereoselectivity of an precedented reduction provided the epi-oxetin framework. The methodology described herein should be amenable for the preparation of oxetin with a change in nitrogen protection.
Synthesis of a new amino acid-antibiotic, oxetin and its three stereoisomers.
Oxetin (1a), a unique antibiotic having an oxetane ring, and its three stereoisomers (1b, 1c, and 1d) were synthesized from the known aldehyde (6) by utilizing a highly regio- and stereoselective epoxide ring-opening reaction. The biological activities of these oxetin stereoisomers were compared.
