title: Asymmetric synthesis of substituted prolines from delta-amino beta-ketoesters. Methyl (2S,5R)-(+)-5-phenylpyrrolidine-2-carboxylate.
abstract: [reaction: see text]. Metal carbenoid chemistry is used to convert delta-amino beta-ketoesters into 5-substituted 3-oxo prolines, which expands the utility of this class of polyfunctionalized chiral building blocks.
