Lycoperdic acid is an unusual amino acid isolated from a mushroom ( lycoperdon perlatum ). Its unique structure and potential glutamate receptor activity, makes it a challenging synthetic target. Our approach to lycoperdic acid is based on the enantioselective organocatalytic Mukaiyama-Michael addition of furan 5 to acrolein, mediated by catalysts 11 and 12 to provide the key butyrolactone 6 (Scheme 2).

Conversion of 6 to (S )-homocitric acid lactone (8 ) not only provided a new synthesis of this natural product enantiomer, and also established the stereochemistry of the Michael addition of 5 to 6 .
