Abstract
The use of both N-tert-butoxycarbonylamino- and hydroxyl-directed hydrogenation methodology to yield essentially single diastereomers of 3-(tert-butoxycarbonylamino)-4-hydroxycyclopentanecarboxylic acid methyl esters and 3-(tert-butoxycarbonylamino)cyclopentanecarboxylic acid methyl esters is described. These results incorporate the first reported carbamate-directed hydrogenations of functionalised cyclopentenes.
