Abstract

The synthesis of the methyl esters of N-methoxycarbonyl-and N-benzyloxycarbonylaziridine- 2-carboxylic acid 2 by reacting methyl 2-chloro-N-carbalkoxyglycinate 1 with diazomethane is described. The aziridines were readily converted to derivatives of O-methylserine 5 and S- methylcysteine 6.
