The antifungal antibiotic (-)-(1R,2S)-2-aminocyclopentane-1-carboxylic
acid (cispentacin) 8 and its cyclohexane homologue 14 have been prepa
red utilizing the highly stereoselective conjugate addition of homochi
ral lithium N-benzyl-N-alpha-methylbenzylamide 5. The corresponding tr
ans-beta-amino acids 10 and 16 were also prepared via the selective ep
imerization of the cis-beta-amino ester conjugate addition products.
