In a study of the biological effect of analogs of the naturally occurring amino acids, D, La- aminocyclopropylacetic acid was synthesized. It was prepared by a Strecker synthesis from cyclopropanecarboxaldehyde. The intermediate hydroxynitrile was aminated in methanolic ammonia. Because of the instability of cyclopropane compounds toward acids the hydrolysis was carried out with barium hydroxide. 2 Like many other D, L-amino acids ...
