Stereochemistry of terpene derivatives. Part 2: Synthesis of new chiral amino acids with potential neuroactivity

The syntheses and stereochemistry of two new amino acids obtained from the monoterpene ketones (−)- cis-caran- trans-4-one and (−)-menthone via appropriate lactams are presented. The configuration of all stereogenic centers is confirmed by X-ray crystallography.
