There are cycloaddition processes that do not necessarily involve pericyclic reac-
tions. A three-component cycloaddition strategy was used to prepare functionalized
aminocyclohexanecarboxylic acids. The reaction of 155 with ethyl 3-oxobutanoate
and an amine such as butylamine, in the presence of ceric ammonium nitrate, led to
156 in 77% yield.

Subsequent reduction with an acyloxyborohydide gave 157 in 94%
yield. Several derivatives were prepared by this method u ...
