Abstract
Ethyl -N-methoxycarbonyl-4-benzyl-2,3-didehydroprolinate 10a undergoes Michael additions with stabilized carbanions and cuprates giving excl usively the enantiopure all-trans 3,4-disubstituted prolinates. The hi gh stereoselection observed in this reaction is driven by the C-4 subs tituent of the Michael acceptor. This methodology has been applied to the synthesis of the enantiopure beta-kainoid 5a and the 2,3-methanopr oline 15. Copyright (C) 1996 Elsevier Science Ltd
