Total synthesis and determination of the stereochemistry of 2-amino-3-cyclopropylbutanoic acid, a novel plant growth regulator isolated from the mushroom Amanita castanopsidis Hongo.
The unknown stereostructure of 2-amino-3-cyclopropylbutanoic acid 1, a novel plant growth regulator isolated from the mushroom Amanita castanopsidis Hongo, was determined to be (2S,3S)-2 through its racemic and enantioselective syntheses employing the chelate-enolate Claisen rearrangement as a key step.
