Abstract: Enantiomerically pure aziridine-2-carboxylates containing a CH2OMs group, and azetidine-3-mesyloxy-2-
carboxylates were prepared by cyclization of 2-amino-3,4-dimesyloxybutyrates, stereoselectiveprepared from aspartic
acid. The outcome of the cyclization was dictated by the configuration of the C-3 stereogenic center. The mesylate
group of the aziridino mesylates could be displaced by nucleophiles without opening of the aziridine ring.
Keywords: Aziridine-2-carboxylic acids, azetidine-2carboxylic acids, aziridine ring formation, azetidine ring
formation.
