title: Asymmetric synthesis of (1R,2S,3R)-gamma-methyl-cis-pentacin by a kinetic resolution protocol.
abstract: The asymmetric synthesis of (1R,2S,3R)-3-methyl-2-amino-cyclopentane carboxylic acid has been achieved via kinetic resolution of racemic tert-butyl 3-methyl-cyclopentene-1-carboxylate with homochiral lithium (S)-N-benzyl-N-alpha-methylbenzylamide.
