AN EFFICIENT CONVERSION OF CHIRAL ALPHA-AMINO-ACIDS TO ENANTIOMERICALLY PURE 3-AMINO CYCLIC AMINES

Enantiomerically pure 3-amino cyclic amines such as 3-amino pyrrolidin e, 3-amino piperidine, and 2.,3,4,5,6,7-hexahydro-1H-azepine have been synthesized in high yields from the optically active natural a-amino acids such as L-aspartic acid, L-glutamic acid, L-2-aminoadipic acid, and their enantiomers.
