Abstract
Sm(III)-azomethine ylides 2 have been generated from ketones 1. Cycloa ddition of ylides 2 with alpha,beta-unsaturated esters 3 through a tra nsition state chelation-controlled by the metal allowed for the asymme tric synthesis of gamma-carboxypyroglutamates having a quaternary alph a-carbon that are potentially useful in the synthesis of neuroprotecti ve agents.
