β¦ Synopsis
A concise synthesis of optically active tryptophan derivatives was developed via diastereoselective alkylation of the Schbllkopf chiral auxiliary 4 to provide alkyne 2 which underwent palladium-catalyzed heteroannulation with iodoanilines 1 to furnish protected tryptophans 3. Hydrolysis and subsequent saponification of 3 provided the desired tryptophans 12 in good yields.

## Abstract Diethyl or dimethyl benzyloxycarbonylaminomalonate was reacted with ring substituted benzyl halides and the resulting arylalkyl derivatives (**3** to **6**) halfβsaponified to the DLβmonoacidβmonoesters (**7** to **10**). Decarboxylation by refluxing in dioxane afforded the Nβbenzyl oxy
A concise synthesis of the oxygen substituted ring A compound 2 found in Taxol w 1a and Taxotere w 1b starting from 2,2dimethylcyclohexane-1,3-dione and proceeding via the key intermediates 8 and 11, is described. The absolute configuration of 2 was established from an X-ray crystal structure determ
