An efficient procedure for highly chemo- and stereoselective cyclization of (S)-allylalanine derivatives is reported (diastereomeric ratios up to 96:4) where the reaction course can be completely controlled by switching from gamma-lactones to cyclic carbamates simply with the proper choice of the amino acid protecting groups. Both processes are stereoconvergent and afford the (S,S)-products in high yields, short reaction times, and mild reaction conditions.
