The synthesis of 4-amino-4,5-dihydrothiophene-2-carboxylic acid (1), a compound designed to function as a mechanism-based inhibitor of GABA-T, is described. The key intermediate for the synthesis of racemic 1, as well as the C3-substituted analogues of (R,S)-1, compound 3, is prepared by a Dieckmann cyclization of (R,-S)-N-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)-S-(carbethoxymethyl)cysteine, ethyl ester (2). Reduction of the .beta.-keto ester 3 with NaBH4 produces the .beta.-hydroxy ester, 5, which is dehydrated with MsCl/Et3N to afford the 4,5-dihydrothiophene, 6. Subsequent removal of the protecting groups yields racemic 1. When optically active 2 was employed, this sequence afforded 1 of varying optical purity. The .beta.-keto ester 3 was shown to be extremely configurationally labile, and its isolation without racemization could not be accomplished. Optically pure 1 (> 99% ee) is obtained by performing the Dieckmann cyclization on the N-sialylated derivative of 2, compound 20. The reaction of 20 with LDA in THF at -65.degree. C proceeds via an intramolecular silyl transfer to afford the acetal 22 without any apparent racemization. The judicious choice of desilylation and borohydride reduction conditions allows for the efficient conversion of 22 to 5 without racemization. The conversion of compound 5 generated in this fashion to enantiomerically pure 1 is accomplished in the same manner as that described for the synthesis of racemic 1.
