β¦ Synopsis
Synthesis of enantiopure 2,4-methanovalines has been achieved by means of asymmetric Strecker synthesis starting from racemic 2-methylcyclobutanone. The trans-configured a-amino acids were obtained from cyanide additions carried out in methanol, whereas the cis-configured 2,4-methanovalines were accessible via reactions in hexane. Relative stereochemistry was elucidated from NOESY experiments, while absolute configurations were assigned from X-ray crystallographic analysis.
