Stereocontrolled Synthesis of (−)-Kainic Acid from trans-4-Hydroxy-l-proline

A highly stereoselective synthesis of (−)-kainic acid has been achieved in 14 steps and >7% overall yield starting from inexpensive trans-4-hydroxy-l-proline. The key steps are diastereoselective enolate alkylation and cuprate substitution reactions.
