Abstract

A highly practical total synthesis of (-)-kainic acid has been accomplished. The synthesis features the stereoselective alkylation of an iodolactone intermediate efficiently prepared from (+)-carvone and introduction of carboxylic acid by hydrolysis of a nitrile accompanied by epimerization.

Key words

kainoids - iodolactone - Curtius rearrangement - stereoselective alkylation - total synthesis
