2-(4-Amino-4-carboxybutyl)aziridine-2-carboxylic acid (3) (aziridino-DAP) was identified as the product of spontaneous hydrolysis of α-(halomethyl)diaminopimelic acids (α-halomethyl-DAPs) 2a-c. Under physiological conditions, 3 is an extremely potent irre

Certain α-(fluoromethyl or difluoromethyl)-α-aminoacetonitriles are prepared by treating the appropriate α-(fluoromethyl or difluoromethyl) ketimine magnesium halide with hydrogen cyanide or with an alkali metal cyanide or ammonium cyanide and a proton source. The products are useful as intermediates for making α-(fluoromethyl or difluoromethyl)-α-amino acids having pharmacological activity.
