A general approach to the synthesis of enantiomerically enriched 3-methanoamino acids is presented where the cyclopropyl unit was introduced by a stereoselective cyclopropanation using a D-glucose-derived chiral auxiliary. This methodology was applied to the synthesis of the four stereoisomers of coronamic acid 14, 17, 20, and 22. Starting with the readily available allylic alcohol 5, β-D-glucopyranoses (E)-6 and (Z)-7 have been selectively prepared using trichloroacetimidate 2. These olefins were cyclopropanated with very high diastereoselectivities using Et2Zn/ CH2I2 (≥98% de) and Et2Zn/CH2ICl (≥97% de) in yields greater than 90%. After cleavage of the chiral auxiliary by ring contraction of the 2-O-triflyl derivative of cyclopropanes 8 and 9, cyclopropylmethanols (-)-10 and (+)-11 have been transformed to all four isomeric protected amino acids by selective protecting group manipulations, oxidation of primary alcohols, and Curtius rearrangement.
