Synthesis of 3- and 4-Substituted Cyclic α-Amino Acids Structurally Related to ACPD

Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/0040-4020(95)00586-W

The preparation of 3-substituted cyclopentanones 12-16, 4-substituted cyclohexanones 23-28 and cycloheptanones 38-41 is described.Substituents in the cycloalkanones are carboxylate, phosphonate or tetrazole groups, separated from the ring by a 0, 1, 2, or 3 carbon atoms chain.These cycloalkanones have been transformed into α-amino acids 9-11 by hydrolysis of the corresponding hydantoin derivatives 21, 37 and 62, obtained under Bucherer-Bergs reaction conditions.
