β¦ Synopsis
The stereochemical outcome of the Michael reaction between ethyl 4,4,4-trifluorocrotonate and a Ni(II) complex of the Schiff base of glycine with (S)-o-[N-(N-benzylprolyl)aminolbenzophenone was found to be subjected to kinetic and thermodynamic control. Thus, under kinetically controlled conditions high values of diastereoselectivity, up to 94% de, allowing for an efficient asymmetric synthesis of (2S,3S)-3-trifluoromethylpyroglutamic acid, could be obtained, while the thermodynamically controlled stereoselectivity is rather modest (54-60% de).

A synthetic route to (2S,3S)-3-hydroxypipecolic acid was achieved from readily available nonchiral pool starting material cis-2-butene-1,4-diol and involved Claisen orthoester rearrangement, Sharpless asymmetric dihydroxylation and intramolecular lactamisation of azido lactone as the key steps.
