An efficient and facile synthesis of D-cycloserine substantially free from potential impurities

  • Published:
Chemistry of Heterocyclic Compounds Aims and scope

An efficient and facile synthesis of D-cycloserine has been developed from D-serine with 61% overall yield employing protectiondeprotection strategy. Different parameters affecting the impurities content and yield of D-cycloserine have been studied. Mild reaction conditions provided the product with remarkable purity (>99%) and high stability.
