Diastereoselective addition of nitromethane to Boc‐ D ‐Phe‐H in the presence of sodium hydride in diethyl ether/hexane containing 15‐crown‐5 and subsequent N,O ‐protection with 2,2‐dimethoxypropane gave trans ‐oxazolidine in a diastereomeric ratio of >16:1. The oxazolidine was easily separated by column chromatography, which after Nef reaction was coupled to H‐Leu‐O t Bu. The 8‐step synthesis afforded (−)‐bestatin in an overall yield of 24.7% after deprotection and ion exchange.
