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 acc

โฆ Synopsis
The stereospecific syntheses of cis-and trans-1-amino-3hydroxymethyl-cyclobutane-1-carboxylz acids from 3-oxabicyclo[3.l.llheptan-2-one-1-carboxylic acid are described. (Recebed in UK 6 Jamrary 1988) The three achiral cyclobutane amino acids, cia-1-amino-3-hydroxymethyl-cyclobutane--1-carhoxylic acid (l),' 2,4-methancqlutamic acid (3) and 2,4-methanoproline (4)' were first isolated from seeds of Atelia herbert-smith11 Pittier (Legumlnosae)j3 the three free cyclobutane amino acids have also been found in the seeds and leaves of four other Atelia species and of both species of the closely related genus Cyathostegia. No synthesis of 2,4-methancglutamic acid (3) has been described; two

Optically active samples of the N-protected 1,3-cyclobutane amino acids 1 and 2 were prepared from ct-pinene. The synthesis of 1 is enantiodivergent insofar as both optical antipodes of the product can be prepared from the same a-pinene enantiomer. Single crystal X-ray diffraction studies of derivat
Efficient synthesis of both cis-and trans-3-azido-oxetane-2-carboxylates relies upon efficient nucleophilic displacements of 3-O-triflates of oxetanes by trifluoroacetate and azide. Such structures are scaffolds for incorporation of oxetane-b-amino acids into oligomers; the synthesis of a series of
