Abstract

The preparation of protected 1-aminocyclopropanecarboxylic acid was performed from readily available and inexpensive starting materials, using titanium-catalyzed cyclopropanation as the key step. As an extension of this methodology, a diastereoselective synthesis of the cis-2-vinyl-substituted analogue is presented.

Key words

amino acids - cyanohydrins - cyclopropane - organometallic reagents - titanium
