Abstract

The use of amino esters tor the selective nucleophilic trapping of thiiranium ion intermediates generated in situ from homochiral 2,3-epoxy sulfides, allows synthetic access to a new class of compounds, structurally related to α-thiolbestatin and other known potent aminopeptidase inhibitors.
