Heating cyclic secondary α-amino acids with an excess of paraformaldehyde or formalin and methyl propiolate or dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate leads to a decarboxylative ring expansion giving 8- and 9-membered cyclic aza-dienes via an azomethine ylide; the X-ray crystal structure of a substituted 1-azacyclo-octa-2,4-diene shows it to have an irregular tub conformation.

Cyclic 5- and 6-membered secondary α-amino acids react with formaldehyde and acetylenic dipolarophiles via azomethine ylide formation, cycloaddition and subsequent ring expansion to give 8- and 9-membered rings respectively.Ring expansion occurs by reaction of the bridgehead nitrogen of the initial bicyclic cycloadduct with a further molecule of dipolarophile to give a zwitterion which triggers the ring expansion.Dynamic p.m.r. studies show that ring inversion between pairs of mirror image conformations of the medium ring products are occuring with inversion barriers of 13-14.6 kcal/mol.
