Hydrogenolysis of the azido group of methyl (Z)-2-(N-Cbz)amino-5-azidopent-2-enoate, derived by selective reduction and azidation of the side chain carboxyl group of N-protected (Z)-ΔGlu-OMe, gave (Z)-α,β-didehydroornithine derivative (7). The formed 7 was further converted to the basic (Z)-α,β-didehydroarginine and the acid containing (Z)-α,β-didehydrokyotorphin.
