Abstract New approach is developed to the synthesis of cyclic amino acids derivatives. Unsaturated tertiary amines react with ethyl diazoacetate under the catalysis by copper catalyst Cu (F 3 acac) 2 leading to the formation of products of [2, 3]-sigmatropic rearrangement which via the metathesis of double bonds undergo a ring closure. The subsequent hydrogenation of compounds obtained furnished esters of 6-and 7-membered ...
