An efficient and divergent synthesis of C4伪- and C4尾-methyl-substituted analogues of 2-aminobicyclo[3.1.0]hexane 2,6-dicarboxylate, which are important tools in the study of metabotropic glutamate receptor function, has been achieved. By taking advantage of an unanticipated facial selectivity of the bicyclo[3.1.0]hexane ring system, either the C4伪- or C4尾-methyl substituent was introduced in a highly stereoselective and high-yielding manner.
