Abstract

3-(tert-Butoxycarbonylamino)-4-hydroxycyclopentanecarboxylic acid methyl esters are conformationally rigid and potentially valuable scaffolds for pharmaceutical discovery. 1 We have recently described an approach to these targets that is primarily concerned with the selectivity of hydrogenation reactions on cyclopent-1-enecarboxylate intermediates. 2 Epoxidations with Oxone® were employed to introduce the oxygen functionality, but we encountered poor volume efficiency and low ...
