Enantiopure constrained 1-aminocyclopentane-1,2,4-tricarboxylic acids containing the glutamic acid skeleton were prepared as two diastereomers characterized by having the carboxylic groups in position two and four cis-oriented to each other and trans with respect to 1-carboxylic group and all cis-oriented carboxylic groups, respectively. A biochemical screening of activity of the above amino acids was investigated on glutamate and 5-HT receptors to find a possible metabotropic agonist, acting on the serotoninergic system.
The Diels-Alder reactions of polymer bound dehydroalanine derivatives

The synthesis and Diels-Alder cycloadditions of a number of polymer bound dehydroalanine derivatives are described. The studies compare methodologies for accessing polymer bound dehydroalanines and establish the versatility and efficiency of solid phase Diels-Alder reactions in the synthesis of carbocyclic amino acids. These studies nicely complement the growing repertoire of methodologies for the functionalisation of amino acid derivatives.
ASYMMETRIC SYNTHESIS OF CYCLOALIPHATIC α-AMINO ACIDS WITH A NORBORNANE SKELETON

The asymmetric synthesis of endo and exo 2-aminonorbornane-2-carboxylic acids is carried out via the Diels-Alder reaction between cyclopentadiene and (-)-menthyl N-acetyl-α,β-dehydroalaninate.It is shown that this dienophile is more reactive than the corresponding methyl ester, which opens the way for the use of chiral N-acetyl-α,β-dehydroalaninates as dienophiles in asymmetric Diels-Alder reactions.As high diastereofacial selectivity is obtained with what was previously considered a mediocre chiral auxiliary, the acetamido group must play an important role, which is discussed.
