Abstract

The stereoselective synthesis of (1R,2R)- and (1S,2S)-trans-2-(diphenylmethylideneamino)cyclopropanecarboxylic acid has been accomplished in six steps starting from (2S)- and (2R)-β-benzyl N-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)aspartate, respectively. The key-step in the reaction sequence is a stereoselective base-induced ring closure with a good trans diastereoselectivity. These novel trans-β-ACC derivatives could be incorporated in dipeptides employing a standard peptide coupling technique.
