A new synthesis of 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid and of its (E)- and (Z)-2-substituted analogues (R = CH3;i-Pr;C6H5) has been performed by means of the 'diazo-addition' method, starting from N-(diphenylmethylene)-2,3-dehydro-1-amino-1-carboxylate precursors. The (E)- and (Z)-2-phenyl and the (Z)-2-methylcyclopropaneamino acids have been obtained with high diastereospecificity. All the cyclopropaneamino acids prepared were tested for their affinity for some glutamate receptors and resulted inactive, wich the exception of compounds (E)-1b and (Z)-1c which showed a shallow displacement of [H]-glycine binding.
