Popis: (4R)-4[(tert-Butoxycarbonyl)amino]-2-methyl-2-penten-5-olide was synthesized and hydrogenated under various catalyst/solvent systems. The best cis/trans ratio was obtained with Rh/C in diethyl ether (dr = 90 : 10). After one recrystallization, (2S,4R)-4-[(tert-butoxycarbonyl)amino]-2-methylpentan-5-olide was obtained (dr = 95 : 5, ee = 97%), which is a precursor of trans-4-methylproline.
