Abstract
A synthesis of 4-aryl kainic acid analogs was achieved using a highly stere oselective Michael addition reaction of dimethyl 2-oxoglutarate with a nitr ostyrene. Nitro group reduction, deoxygenation and epimerization complete t he synthetic route. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
