title: Stereoselective synthesis of 2-amino-3-fluoro bicyclo[3.1.0]hexane-2,6-dicarboxylic acid.
abstract: (+)-2-Aminobicyclo[3.1.0]hexane-2,6-dicarboxylic acid (LY354740) is a conformationally restricted glutamate analogue that is a potent, selective and orally active group 2 metabotropic glutamate receptor agonist possessing anticonvulsant and anxiolytic properties. Herein, we describe a stereoselective and highly efficient synthesis of its 3-beta fluoro derivative using the Corey-Link methodology to create the amino acid stereogenic center.
