4.2.6. Synthesis of (1R,2R)-2-(diphenylmethylideneamino)cyclopro-
panecarboxylic acid 10a. To an ice-cooled solution of (1R,2R)-benzyl
2-(diphenylmethylideneamino)cyclopropanecarboxylate 7a (0.21 g,
0.6 mmol, 1 equiv) in MeOH/H2O 5/1 (6 mL), aqueous 2 M NaOH
(3mmol,1.5 mL, 5 equiv)wasadded. Thereaction mixturewasstirred
at room temperature for 20 h. The organic solvent was evaporated
under reduced pressure and the residual aqueous phase was washed
with Et2O (2ꢃ 10 mL). Subsequently, the aqueous layer was carefully
acidified with a solution of 2 M HCl in H2O to pH 6, followed by an
extraction with CH2Cl2 (3ꢃ 10 mL). After drying (MgSO4), filtration
and evaporation, the pure carboxylic acid 10a was obtained in 61%
yield and dr>99:1.

of (1R,2R)-2-(diphenylmethylideneamino)cyclopropanecarboxylic
acid 10a (0.053 g, 0.2 mmol, 1 equiv) and methyl glycinate hydro-
chloride 11 (0.025 g, 0.2 mmol, 1 equiv) in dry CH2Cl2 (5 mL) were
added 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide hydro-
chloride (EDC$HCl) (0.038 g, 0.2 mmol, 1 equiv) and N-methyl-
morpholine (0.061 g, 0.6 mmol, 3 equiv), and the reaction mixture
was stirred at room temperature for 3 h. The reaction mixture was
poured into water (10 mL) and extracted with CH2Cl2 (3ꢃ 5 mL).
The combined organic layers were dried with MgSO4. The
drying agent was removed by filtration and the filtrate was con-
centrated in vacuo. This afforded pure (10R,20R)-methyl [(20-
diphenylmethylideneaminocyclopropane)carbonyl]aminoacetate
12a (58% yield) after column chromatography on silica gel (petro-
leum ether/EtOAc 1/1).
