Abstract

3-Nitrophthalic acid 2.04 was transformed into 2.10 in 38% yield. Vinylglycine
derivative was synthesised from D-Methionine 2.12 in 42% yield.

Compounds 2.10 and 2.16 were coupled using Grubbs’ 2nd generation catalyst
creating 2.25. Unfortunately attempts to oxidise the benzylic position were
unsuccessful.

An alternative approach was investigated using diene 2.40 derived from a precursor to
2.10 and allyl bromide 2.35. Attempts to displace bromide under anionic conditions
were futile. The use of palladium formed conjugated dieneamine 2.65.

Deprotection, oxidation and elaboration of 2.10 prior to cross metathesis allowed the
synthesis of 2.114, which when subjected to radical conditions, formed a
diastereomeric mixture of 2.220.
