F. Daniello et al., STEREOCONVERGENT SYNTHESIS OF (2S,3S,8S,9S,4E,6E)-N-BOC-ADDA STARTINGFROM (S)-SERINE AND (S)-PHENYLLACTIC ACID, Tetrahedron, 53(4), 1997, pp. 1447-1456
The important naturally occurring beta-amino acid N-Boc-ADDA is prepar
ed following a disconnection of the C-C bond between the two E,E doubl
e bonds. The stereochemistry of the two synthons was controlled using
the alkylation of chiral bromoalienes derived from naturally occurring
(S)-serine and (S)-phenyllactic acid. The cupration of bromoallenes d
erived from (S)-serine also provides a general method for the synthesi
s of chiral beta-alkylated aspartic acid derivatives. (C) 1997, Elsevi
