Uses
Thiazolidine-2-carboxylic acid may be used in the synthesis of azabicycloadducts and 5-aryl-2,3-dihydropyrrolo[2,1-
b]thiazole-6,7-dimethanol 6,7-bis(isopropylcarbamates).
General Description
Thiazolidine-2-carboxylic acid (β-thiaproline) is a proline analog. It is an important building block of β-lactam antibiotics. Its X-ray photoelectron spectra has been investigated. It has been reported as a physiological substrate of hog kidney D-amino acid oxidase. Thiazolidine-2-carboxylic acid can be synthesized from cysteamine and glyoxylate.
