Abstract

L- Lysine was converted into N-benzyloxycarbonyl-La-aminoadipic acid 1 -benzyl ester by a short route which avoids the intermediacy of La-aminoadipic acid. ... La-Aminoadipic acid is of crucial importance in biosynthetic studies on penicillin since it is a component of the LLD-ACV tripeptide (l), which has been shown to be a precursor of penicillin1 and subsequently the cephalosporins.2 Consequently there has been a demand for preparative methods for (l), ...
