title: Asymmetric synthesis of L-azetidine-2-carboxylic acid and 3-substituted congeners--conformationally constrained analogs of phenylalanine, naphthylalanine, and leucine.
abstract: Enantiopure L-azetidine-2-carboxylic acid, the (3R)-phenyl, (3R)-naphthyl and (3S)-isopropyl analogs were prepared based on a zinc-mediated asymmetric addition of allylic halides to the camphor sultam derivative of glyoxylic acid O-benzyl oxime.
