Azetidine and its derivatives are valuable compounds in pharmaceutical and agrochemical research.
Azetidine-3-carboxylic acid derivatives has potential biological and foldameric applications. Azetidine-3-carboxylic acid, a fairly strained molecule provides oxadiazoles in good yields. Azetidine-3-carboxylic acid is used as a chemical hybridising agent
3-Azetidinecarboxylic acid is a useful intermediate in the synthesis of polypeptides.
Low toxicity by ingestion and skincontact. When heated to decomposition it emits toxicvapors of NOx.
