Abstract

Uracil bearing a tethered allyl alcohol appendage at N1 undergoes a [2+2] photocycloaddition reaction to provide a single tricyclic adduct in high yield. This compound is transformed in one step into a cis-cyclobutane β-amino acid bearing a 3-hydroxymethyl group. Through appropriate functionalization and epimerization, the trans isomer is obtained therefrom in only three further steps.
