Abstract

(Chemical Equation Presented) A novel synthesis of optically active anti-β-substituted γ,δ-unsaturated amino acids via a thio-Claisen rearrangement has been achieved. A 2,5-diphenylpyrrolidine was used as a (C2-symmetric chiral auxiliary to control the stereochemistry, giving good yields and excellent diastereoselectivities and enantioselectivities.
