A highly efficient and practical route to 3,4-isopropylidene proline 1, starting from (+)-3-carene, was developed. The three continuous stereocenters were constructed using the inherent chirality of the starting natural product 2. The overall yield for the 12-step synthesis is 34%. The optimized sequence leading to 1 has been successfully applied on a multigram scale, thereby establishing the practicality of this route.
