Enantioselective Synthesis of L-CCG-I

J Org Chem. 2003 Aug 22;68(17):6817-9. doi: 10.1021/jo0345188.

Abstract

Introduction of natural menthol as the chiral auxiliary in a gamma-Br-alpha,beta-unsaturated ester leads to enantioselective generation of three chiral centers in a single step on reaction with a glycine anion equivalent to provide L-CCG-I in 94% ee.
