✦ Synopsis
Neuroexcitatory natural products are accessible from 1 via the intermediate 2, which is obtained by Ni-catalyzed cyclization, transposition of the protecting group, and Pd-catalyzed reduction with allylic transposition. This stepwise formation of stereocenters allows a highly direct and stereoselective synthesis of the excitatory amino acid (+)-α-allokainic acid, which displays an all-trans arrangement of the substituents about the pyrrolidine ring. TBS=tert-butyldimethylsilyl.

Using 1 -chloro-l-[~~N]nitrosocyclohexane, we have prepared five L-[a-'SN]arnino acids. The stereoselective electophillic hydroxyamination of (S)-acylbornane-l0,2-suftams, followed by ZnO/H+ reduction, and alkaline cleavage of the chiral auxiliary, gave the amino acids in 97.2-99.5 % e.e. By starti
