TLDR
An asymmetric synthesis for the preparation of both enantiomers of trans-methylpipecolic acids is described, based on Sharpless epoxidation as a chirality source, regioselective ring opening with allylamine, and ring-closing metathesis to construct the piperidine ring.
Abstract
An asymmetric synthesis for the preparation of both enantiomers of trans-methylpipecolic acids is described. It is based on Sharpless epoxidation as a chirality source, regioselective ring opening with allylamine, and ring-closing metathesis to construct the piperidine ring. The stereogenic center at C-4 is set by stereoselective hydrogenation that is directed by the alcohol functionality of an intermediate and proceeds with good diastereomeric control (trans/cis 16/1). Crystallization of the Boc-protected amino acid afforded the target products with excellent chemical (98% de) and enantiomeric purity (99% ee).

An efficient synthesis of nitrogen-containing heterocycles via a tandem carbenoid N―H insertion/ring-closing metathesis sequence

TL;DR: In this paper, a series of five-to eight-membered nitrogen-containing heterocycles were prepared via a general and efficient one-pot, two-component sequence featuring rhodium-catalyzed insertion of a vinyl-substituted α-diazocarbonyls into the N-H bond of the series of tert-butoxycarbonyl-(Boc)-protected amines, followed by ring-closing metathesis catalyzed by ruthenium benzylidene complexes.
