Ec. Taylor et Bh. Hu, COMMENTS ON AN ATTEMPTED SYNTHESIS OF 1-AMINOCYCLOPROPANE-1,2-DICARBOXYLIC ACID, Synthetic communications, 26(5), 1996, pp. 1041-1049
Aminolysis of dimethyl 1-bromocyclopropane-1,2-dicarboxylate in the pr
esence of KHMDS was reinvestigated. Dimethyl 1-methoxycyclopropane-1,2
-dicarboxylate instead of the putative dimethyl 1-aminocyclopropane-1,
2-dicarboxylate was isolated from the reaction.
