title: Control of chemoselectivity in Dieckmann ring closures leading to tetramic acids.
abstract: An efficient strategy for the control of the chemoselectivity in Dieckmann ring closures leading to tetramic acids derived from serine and α-methyl serine is reported, and this provides pathways to diversely substituted systems from a common starting material.
