✦ Synopsis
Hypoglycin A, (III), a new aminoacid with marked hypoglycasmic properties was isolsted by Hassal' from unripe ackee fruit (Blighia sapida) and subsequently synthesised in six stages from 2-bromo-propene by Carbon, Martin and Svett2. In our three stage synthesis l-bromo--buta-2,3-diene3 was condensed with ethyl formyleminomalonate in the presence of sodium hydride to give diethyl buta-2,3-dienylformylamino--malonate (I), v1.p. 8C", U max 1950 cm-1 in SC$ yield. Treatment of (I) with diiodomethane and zinc-copper couple' resulted in the addition of methylene to the non terminal double bond (we had already shown5 that carbenes add to allenes at the more substituted double bond) to give II (7l$) which was hydrolysed (Sodium hydroxide) and

## Abstract N‐TFA‐γ‐L‐glutamyl‐hypoglycin A α‐ethyl ester was prepared by coupling N‐TFA‐L‐glutamic acid α‐ethyl ester with hypoglycin A according to the mixed anhydride method, using isobutyl chlorocarbonate. After removal of the protecting groups the resulting γ‐L‐glutamyl‐hypoglycin A was found
## Abstract Picrolonate, hydrogenation and ninhydrin‐degradation of hypoglycin A are described. The main product of the hydrolysis of hypoglycin A is β‐isobutyryl‐alanine.
