Abstract
A novel methodology for the efficient synthesis of [2.2.1] heterobicyclic pyroglutamates has been described. The key synthetic steps involve alkylation of amino acid-derived iminoesters with Baylis-Hillman bromide, RhCl 3-catalyzed exocyclic olefin isomerization, diastereoselective dihydroxylation, and regioselective lactonization. All the compounds were evaluated for their cytotoxicity using multiple myeloma cancer cell lines RPMI 8226.
