Callipeltin A (1) is a cyclodepsipeptide from water sponge collected at New Caledonia. This compound shows anti-HIV and cytotoxic activities against KB and P388 cells and contains three new amino acid residues. β-methoxytyrosine (β-MeOTyr) (4), (2R,3R,4S)-4-amino-7-guanidino-2,-3-dihydroxyheptanoic acid (AGDHE) (
5
), (3S,4R)-3,4-dimethyl-L-glutamine (diMeGln) (
6
). In addition, two new truncated open-chain derivatives of Callipeltin A (1), named Callipeltin D (2) and
E
(3) were isolated. The unique structure and intriguing biological activities of this compound led us to explore total synthesis of Callipeltin A (1) and to elucidate stereochemistry of β-MeOTyr (4). We started to synthesize Callipeltin
E
(3) which contains β-MeOTyr (4). In order to synthesize four stereoisomer of β-MeOTyr (4), we attempted Evans anti or syn-Aldol reaction as a key step. Evans direct anti-aldol reaction with chiral benzyloxazolidinones (8) and p-hydroxy benzaldehyde (9) promoted by catalytic amounts of MgCl_2 in the presence of triethylamine and chlorotrimethylsilane. This proceder provide 3:1 diastereoselelctivity and 70% yield of isolated anti-aldol product (10). And Enolizalion of isocyanate oxazolidinone (13) with di-n-butylboryl trifrate and diisopropylethylamine followed by treatment with aldehyde 8 afford syn-aldol product 14 affording

% yield and 1:

anti: sin diastereomeric ratio. On the other hand, we tried Sharpless Asymmetric dihydroxylation (
AD
) and Aminohydroxylation (AA) to give all four stereoisomers of β-MeOTyr. Treatment of olefin (18) with
AD
-mix α provided diol (19) and the α position alcohol of 19 was converted to sulfone regioselectively followed by azidation and treatment of 20 with PPh_3 to afford aziridine (21). Addition of aziridine (21) and BF_3・Et_2O in methanol produced α-amino β-methoxy adduct (
22
). AA reaction protocol with t-butylcarbamate was successfully applied to afford desired
22
in single step. Now we construct Callipeltin
E
to determine absolute stereochemistry of β-MeOTyr (4). In addition, we report the synthesis of diMeGln (
6
) and (2R,3R,4S)-3-hydroxy-2-4-
6
-trimethyl hepanoic acid (7).
