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).
ChEBI: Thiazolidine-2-carboxylic acid is a thiazolidinemonocarboxylic acid that is 1,3-thiazolidine substituted by a carboxy group at position 2.
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.
