Esters of proteinogenic amino acids efficiently catalyse the formation of erythrose and threose under aqueous conditions in the highest yields and enantioselectivities yet reported. Remarkably while esters of (L)-proline yield (L)-carbohydrates, esters of (L)-leucine and (L)-alanine generate (D)-carbohydrates, offering the potential to account for the prebiotic link between natural (L)-amino acids and natural (D)-sugars.
