Scg. Biagini et al., THE SYNTHESIS OF N-NORBORNENYL-AMINO ACIDS AND ESTERS - MONOMERS FOR THE PREPARATION OF WELL-DEFINED POLYMERS, Tetrahedron, 51(26), 1995, pp. 7247-7262
Two routes to the synthesis of various norbornene containing amino aci
d derivatives are described. The methodology also allows the preparati
on of the 7-oxonorbornene analogues, and a kinetics study of the racem
isation of one of the monomers is reported.
