Abstract

A concise synthesis of both E-isomers of 2S-amino-3-(2′-aminomethyl-cyclopropyl)propionic acid, new methano-l-lysines, is described. The synthetic route includes nine steps from l-methionine, with a key step involving the cyclopropanation of an intermediate E-allylic alcohol. The resultant hydroxymethylcyclopropanes were readily separated and converted into the title α-amino acids. The stereochemistry around the cyclopropane rings was deduced by conducting the cyclopropanation in the presence of N,N,N′,N′-tetramethyl-d-tartaric acid diamide butylboronate, a chiral controller which is known to favour the production of S-hydroxymethyl cyclopropanes from allylic alcohols.
