Abstract
A seemingly minor change to a reactant is shown to cause a change in reaction mechanisms. Conjugate addition of organocopper reagents to bicyclic α,β-unsaturated lactams derived from pyroglutaminol is determined by the nature of the aminal group. Aminals derived from aldehydes give anti addition; those from ketones give syn addition. Divergence in diastereoselection occurs because the substrates react by different mechanisms, ultimately due to a small but significant difference in pyramidalization of the aminal nitrogen.

Abstract
Fluorinated prolines play an important role in peptide studies, protein engineering, medicinal chemistry, drug discovery, and agrochemistry. Since the first synthesis of 4-fluoroprolines by Gottlieb and Witkop in 1965, their popularity started to grow exponentially. For example, during the past two decades, all isomeric trifluoromethyl-substituted prolines have been synthesized. In this Perspective, chemical properties and applications of fluorinated prolines are discussed. Synthetic approaches to all known fluorine-containing prolines are also discussed and analyzed. This analysis unexpectedly revealed an unsolved problem: in strict contrast to fluoro- and trifluoromethyl-substituted prolines, the corresponding analogues with fluoromethyl and difluoromethyl groups are mostly unknown. At the end of the paper, structures of several interesting, yet unknown, fluorinated prolines are disclosed─a good opportunity for chemists to make them.

Abstract
Direct α-functionalization of NH2 -free glycinates with relatively weak electrophiles such as α,β-unsaturated esters still remains a big challenge in organic synthesis. With chiral pyridoxal 5 d as a carbonyl catalyst, direct asymmetric conjugated addition at the α-C of glycinate 1 a with α,β-unsaturated esters 2 has been successfully realized, to produce various chiral pyroglutamic acid esters 4 in 14-96 % yields with 81-97 % ee's after in situ lactamization. The trans and cis diastereomers can be obtained at the same time by chromatography and both of them can be easily converted into chiral 4-substituted pyrrolidin-2-ones such as Alzheimer's drug Rolipram (11) with the same absolute configuration via tert-butyl group removal and subsequent Barton decarboxylation.

Abstract
Tailor-made AAs are indispensable components of modern medicinal chemistry and are becoming increasingly prominent in new drugs. In fact, about 30% of small-molecule pharmaceuticals contain residues of tailor-made AAs or structurally related diamines and amino-alcohols. Cyclic tailor-made AAs present a particular value to rational structural design by virtue of their local conformational constraints and are widely used in lead optimization programs. The present review article highlights 34 compounds, all of which are derived from cyclic AAs, representing recently-approved, small-molecule pharmaceuticals as well as promising drug candidates currently in various phases of clinical study. For each compound, the discussion includes the discovery, therapeutic profile and optimized synthesis, with a focus on the preparation of cyclic tailor-made AA as the principal structural feature. The present review article is intended to serve as a reference source for organic, medicinal and process chemists along with other professionals working in the fields of drug design and pharmaceutical discovery.
