A stereodivergent approach employing an N-hydroxymethyl group has been utilized to produce both diastereomeric derivatives of (3S,4S)-AHPPA 3 and (3R,4S)-AHPPA 4, via an intramolecular conjugate addition and an intramolecular epoxidation, respectively. The selectivity of the intramolecular conjugate addition was more than 10:1 while that of the intramolecular epoxidation was more than 1:20.
