A catalytic asymmetric synthesis of 5,5-dimethylproline

The methyl ester derivative of commercially available N-acetyl-allylglycine readily undergoes cross-metathesis with 2-methylbut-2-ene and ruthenium–alkylidene catalyst to afford the prenylglycine derivative. Acid-catalysed cyclisation then affords 5,5-dimethylproline in near quantitative yield and e...
