- Abstract New trans- and cis-o-stilbene-methylene-sydnones 3a,b were synthesized by transforming the trans- and cis-o-aminomethylstilbene derivative, obtained by reduction of corresponding o-cyano derivatives, into glycine ester derivatives (43 and 31% yield) followed by hydrolysis (90 and 96% yield
- carbonyl carbon at ~172 ppm in the 13C NMR spectra. The esters 8a or 8b were hydrolysed to the amino acid 9a (trans, 90%) or 9b (cis, 96%). The obtained amino acids were transformed to N-nitroso glycine 10a or 10b and, without isolation or further purification, were submitted to dehydration with acetic
