Abstract
The synthesis envisaged the building of the dithiolane ring on to homoproline, the synthesis of which was effected from tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol and from proline itself. The reactions involved in these syntheses are discussed with particular reference to the protection of the secondary nitrogen, the difficulties encountered in the application of the Arndt-Eistert reaction, and the possible application of the Prins reaction.
