Abstract
Synthesis of a number of novel, conformationally rigid β-amino esters has been achieved via a tandem olefin metathesis reaction. The starting materials are readily accessible from the Diels-Alder adduct between cyclopentadiene and maleic anhydride.
Key words
metathesis - amino acids - Diels-Alder reactions

Conditions for the conversion warranted exposure of the material to high catalyst loading (20 mol%) and ethene gas (3 atm) for three cycles to obtain good conversion (88%).
References and Notes
The most diagnostic peaks for the epimerization are: cis-amino ester Heq δ = 3.3 ppm and trans-amino ester Hax δ = 2.6 ppm.

General Procedure for Olefin Metathesis Reactions - Synthesis of 5.
A flask was charged with alkyne 4 (51 mg, 0.14 mmol) and freshly distilled CH2Cl2 (50 mL). Ethene gas was then bubbled through the solution for 20 s. Grubbs I catalyst (11 mg, 0.014 mmol) was then added and a balloon filled with ethene gas was fitted to the flask. The reaction was allowed to stir at r.t. overnight. The reaction mixture was concen-trated in vacuo and subjected to column chromatography eluting with PE-EtOAc (19:1 to 4:1) to furnish 5 as a white solid in 96% yield (52 mg).
