“…64 Starting from 1,4-cyclohexadiene-or 1,3-cyclohexadienederived bicyclic lactams, the above methodology based on iodolactonization, HI elimination, and subsequent lactone ringopening was successfully used for the synthesis of other hydroxylated β-aminocyclohexenecarboxylates ( Figure 16). 64,65 The ring C−C double bond of hydroxylated cyclic β-amino acids offers a possibility for further selective functionalizations, leading to the synthesis of different highly functionalized bioactive compounds. Thus, all-cis-methyl 5-hydroxy-2-aminocyclohexenecarboxylate was used as a precursor in the synthesis of the antibiotic Fortamycine.…”
