Studies in Rhodium Catalyzed Intramolecular C-H Insertion of Amino Acid Derived α-Diazo-α-(substituted)acetamides and its Application to the Total Synthesis of <em>clasto</em>-Lactacystin β-Lactone

Lactacystin is a microbial metabolite isolated by Omura that exhibits neurotrophic activity in neuroblastoma cell lines. Lactacystin and especially its β-lactone analog are the first examples of non-polypeptide small molecules capable of specifically inhibiting the 20S proteasome. Various asymmetric...
