Abstract

A general route to excitatory amino acid analogues has been developed as exemplified by the synthesis of A-1 and A-2. The key reactions involved were a Negishi coupling of Jackson’s organozinc reagent with vinyl bromide 8 and subsequent ring closure of 15 and 16 using the Mitsunobu reaction.
