%A P Wipf %A CRJ Stephenson %J Organic Letters %T Three-component synthesis of ?,?-cyclopropyl-?-amino acids %X (Chemical Equation Presented) The multicomponent coupling of alkenylzirconocenes with N-diphenylphosphinoyl imines provides rapid access to functionalized C-cyclopropylalkylamides which have been readily transformed into ?,?-cyclopropyl-?-amino acids. These novel scaffolds are thus accessible in ca. 8 steps from commercially available alkynes. ? 2005 American Chemical Society. %N 6 %P 1137 - 1140 %V 7 %D 2005 %R 10.1021/ol0501525 %L pittir20182
