N-Substituted glycinate and a-and P-alaninate esters were prepared as possible antimetabolites for the control of Fusarium wilt diseases. Some qualitative results are presented on the relative ease of displacement of the a-halogen atom and aminol-psis of the ester group in the reaction of haloacetate esters with primary aliphatic amines.
