SYNTHESIS OF 2S, 3aS, 7aS- AND OF 2S, 3aR, 7aR- PERHYDROINDOLE-2-CARBOXYLIC ACID DERIVATIVES FROM L-ASPARTIC ACID

Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/S0040-4039(00)95940-9

Using carbon radicals generated by photolysis of N-hydroxy-2-thio-pyridone esters (mixed anhydrides) the chiral centre of L-aspartic acid has been easily incorporated into the perhydroindole structure of the title compounds.
