 ((S)-2-Azetidinecarboxylic acid has been known since 1955 to be present in rhizomes and fresh foliage of certain plants. It is known to occur in one species, Convallaria majalis (lily of the valley), from the lily family, Liliaceae, and one species, Polygonatum officinale, from the flowering plant family, Ruscaceae. Lily of the ValleyAze is also found in numerous plants from the family Fabaceae, and has also been detected in small quantities in table beets, garden beets, and sugar beets.

 ((S)-2-Azetidinecarboxylic acid (CAS NO.2133-34-8) is a four-membered ring analog of L-Proline. It is a useful intermediate in the synthesis of polypeptides.

An optically active ((S)-2-Azetidinecarboxylic acid was obtained by treatment of αγ-diaminobutyric acid dihydrochloride with a mixture of nitrous and hydrochloric acids to yield γ-amino-α-chlorobutyric acid, followed by elimintation of hydrogen chloride and cyclization by treatment with barium hydroxide. Optically inactive ((S)-2-Azetidinecarboxylic acid was obtained in small yield from γ-aminobutyric acid by α-bromination, followed by removal of hydrogen bromide from the intermediate γ-amino-α-butyric acid and ring closure by treatment with a barium hydroxide solution.
