The synthesis of chemically and enantiomerically pure (S)-3-amino tetrahydrofuran hydrochloride starting from the natural amino acids, l-aspartic acid or l-methionine is described. The process involves no chromatography and can be easily carried out on a large scale. The enantiopurity of the final product was established by NMR and chiral HPLC methods.
