Abstract

l-Proline derived diastereoisomeric [4.4]-spirolactams have been prepared by a reductive-amination reaction of (R)- or (S)-alanine methyl ester, followed by thermal cyclisation of the resulting amine onto the proline ester group in refluxing toluene. Under similar conditions (R)- or (S)-phenylalanine methyl ester gave no cyclisation products, while R- or S-α-methylbenzylamine required treatment with NaNH₂ in refluxing toluene to induce cyclisation giving diastereoisomeric [4.4]-spirolactams.
