✦ Synopsis
A number of N-( I , 2,5-trisubstituted-4-imidazoyl)glycinates 4 were prepared in 60-95% yield from imidates 1 derived from a-amino esters by cyclodimerization without solvent at 70°C in acetic acid medium. According to this process, the reaction of imidate la as a I,3-dipole generated i n situ by thermal 1,2-prototropy with the free ethyl benzimidate as the dipolarophile has been investigated for the first time and gave directly the methyl imidazole-4-carboxylate in moderate yield by regioselective [3 + 21 cycloaddition.

Pyroglutamic acid derivative (I) is proved to be an excellent chiral starting compound for the synthesis of title amino acids (IX), (X), and (V). The syntheses are based on a combination of methods previously used for the preparation of 4-and 5-substituted prolines. These methods are the ring openin
