Lt. Boulton et al., Generation of unnatural alpha,alpha-disubstituted amino acid derivatives from cyclic sulfamidates, J CHEM S P1, (11), 1999, pp. 1421-1429
Cyclic sulfamidates function as excellent precursors to a variety of unnatu
ral alpha,alpha-disubstituted amino acid derivatives by ring opening with a
suitable nucleophile. Addition of various nucleophiles to a sulfamidate de
rived from 2-methylserine is described.
