✦ Synopsis
Synthesis of the title compounds is described, starting from alkylation of the pyroglutaminol-acetal 4a"' at the a-lactam position C-6 with methyl iodide. Subsequent addition of 2-cyclohexen-lone led to diastereoselective formation of the 1.2-aldol addition product 7 W c , which after dehydratization was aromatizrd with DDQ to yield the 6-methyl-6-phenyl derivative 7h. Acetal cleavage and Jones oxidation yielded 4,4-disubstituted. enantiomerically pure pyroglutamic acid 3b. X-ray analysis confirmed the assignment of the configuration of the newly created chiral centre.
