Abstract: Allylic esters of TFA-protected amino acids undergo asymmetric Claisen rearrangements in the presence of cinchona alkaloids, giving rise to g,d-unsaturated amino acids in a highly stereoselective fashion. The products are useful precursors for the short and efficient synthesis of more complex compounds such as substituted 4-hydroxyprolines, 4-hydroxyornithines and iminosugars.
