Abstract

The chiral and stereoselective synthesis of (+)-lactacystin 1, the first non-protein neurotrophic factor, is described; the γ-lactam portion possessing a quaternary carbon in 1 was constructed stereoselectively from D-glucose using the allylic trichloroacetimidate rearrangement (Overman rearrangement) as the key reaction.
