Using (S)-2-(benzyloxymethyl)-2-aminoethanol as a reference (prepared from Nα-BOC-DSer(OBn)-OH in analogy to 1), the ee of 1 was shown to be >99%. As none of the subsequent steps in the synthesis of 7, 10, 13, and 13A is conceivably accompanied by epimerization of the chiral center α to the amino group, the optical purity of 1 will also be reflected in these final products.
