Titanium-mediated diene metallabicyclisation-elimination-functionalisation has been utilised for the preparation of syn-3,4-disubstituted and syn,syn-2,3,4-trisubstituted pyrrolidines in high yield and excellent stereoselectivity; this methodology has been employed in a total synthesis of (-)-α-kainic acid starting from L-serine.
The stereoselective preparation of substituted pyrrolidines using titanium- And zirconium-mediated diene metallabicyclisation methodology: The total synthesis of (-)-α-kainic acid

Zirconium- and titanium-mediated diene metallabicyclisation-elimination-functionalisation have been compared, contrasted and utilised for the preparation of 3,4-disubstituted and 2,3,4-trisubstituted pyrrolidines in high yield and excellent stereoselectivity. The zirconium-mediated methodology has been employed as the key step in a partial synthesis of (-)-α-kainic acid starting from D-serine, but the key metallabicyclisation sequence proceeded with poor stereocontrol. By contrast, the total synthesis of (-)-α-kainic acid starting from L-serine was accomplished using a titanium-mediated cyclisation sequence which proceeded with excellent stereocontrol. Novel kainoids and piperidines are also reported. The Royal Society of Chemistry 2000.
