A Novel Synthesis of beta-Aminoalkylnitroamines. rac-beta-Nitroaminoalanine and N-Nitroethylenediamine, Two Reported Metabolites from Agaricus silvaticus.

Abstract
N-Nitroethylenediamine and (.+-.)-.beta.-nitroaminoalanine were prepared in good yields by the same general method, involving addition of methyl N-nitrocarbamate to aziridine or ethyl aziridine-2-carboxylate, respectively. Additive 13C NMR shift parameters for the nitroamino group were estimated.
