“…The first selective synthesis of cis -2-ACHC 6 was performed from anhydride 4 after amidation, followed by Hofmann degradation with hypobromite. ,, This protocol was used to prepare a number of homologues and analogues, e.g. cis -2-ACPC, , cis- and trans -2-amino-4-cyclohexenecarboxylic acid, diendo -3-aminobicyclo[2.2.1hept-5-enecarboxylic acid, 3- endo -amino-5- exo -phenylbicyclo[2.2.1]heptane-2- endo -carboxylic acid, and cis -3-aminobicyclo[2.2.2]octane-2-carboxylic acid . In cases of double bond-containing derivatives, modified Hofmann degradation with hypochlorite has been applied to avoid bromine addition.…”
