title: Synthesis of substituted cyclohexenyl-based beta-amino acids by ring-closing metathesis.
abstract: [structure: see text] A versatile ring-closing metathesis (RCM) approach has been developed for the preparation of cis and trans cyclohexenyl-based beta-amino acids that are either unsubstituted (3) or substituted (10 and 12) at the alpha-position.
