Synthesis of a γ-amino acid derived from (1R,3S)-camphoric acid is described. d-(+)-Camphoric anhydride, prepared from d-(+)-camphoric acid by treatment with methanesulfonyl chloride and triethylamine, was reacted with benzyl alcohol and catalytic DMAP, and subsequently reacted in a Curtius rearrangement to afford the corresponding carbamate derivative. This derivative was converted to the desired γ-amino acid through hydrogenolysis.
