Diastereoselective Iodocarbocyclization Reaction of 8-Phenylmenthyl Allylmalonate: An Efficient Preparation of a Synthetic Intermediate of Cyclopropane Amino Acids

Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/0957-4166(95)00063-U

The iodocarbocyclization of allylmalonate using (-)-8-phenylmenthol as a chiral auxiliary proceeded with high diasterreoselectivity to give the iodomethylcyclopropane dicarboxylic ester in good yield.
