Aziridine Carboxylates, Carboxamides and Lactones: New Methods for Their Preparation and Their Transformation into α- and β-Amino Acid Derivatives
The preparation of a variety of novel aziridine-γ-lactones (3) from carbohydrates is described. In contrast to aziridine-2-carboxylates, the lactones react regiospecifically at C-2 with soft nucleophiles to provide optically pure substituted β-amino acid precursors. Hard nucleophiles react exc...
