title: A concise synthesis of L-pyrrolysine.
abstract: Organocatalysis: A concise synthesis of L-pyrrolysine has been accomplished in six steps from simple starting materials. The facile synthetic strategy relies on an organocatalytic Michael addition, an efficient amide coupling, and a challenging method for the imine-bond construction.
