A diastereoselective and enantioselective synthesis of (Z)-1-benzovlamino-2-tritylsulfztnvlcvclopropaiiecarboxylic acid derivatives 8a,b and 9a,b was achieved starting from (-)- or (+)-menthyl 2-benzoylamino-3-tritylsulfanylacrylates 3a,b. Compounds 3 were reacted with diazomethane giving the corresponding pyrazolines 4a,b and 5a,b. These compounds. on melting. were transformed, under steric control, into the cyclopropaneamino acid derivatives (R,R)-8a,b and (S,S)-9a,b. The synthesis of a large class of chiral 2-S-alkyl-1-aminocyclopropanecarboxylic acid derivatives is possible after removing the trityl protecting group and subsequent alkylation reactions.
