(Chemical Equation Presented) Homochiral α-amino acids, heterocycles, and carbocycles are efficiently constructed via a short sequence of reactions starting from the chiral auxiliary p-menthane-3-carboxaldehyde. The key feature of the sequence is a highly selective tandem Mitsunobu/3,3-sigmatropic rearrangement of hydrazoic acid that procures enantiomerically enriched allylic azides. The sequence is either terminated by oxidative cleavage to provide amino acids or by ring-closing metathesis to provide heterocycles or carbocycles bearing nitrogen.

p-Menthane-3-carboxaldehyde serves as an efficient chiral auxiliary in the preparation of chiral non-racemic S-alkylthiocarbamates or 5-dithiocarbonates via the 3,3-sigmatropic rearrangement of the corresponding alkylthionocarbamates or xanthates. The tra
