The synthesis of N-norbornenyl-amino acids and esters: Monomers for the preparation of well defined polymers

Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/0040-4020(95)00349-D

Two routes to the synthesis of various norbornene containing amino acid derivatives are described. The methodology also allows the preparation of the 7-oxonorbornene analogues, and a kinetics study of the racemisation of one of the monomers is reported.
