The first syntheses of three novel four-membered ring amino acids (3-aminooxetane-3-carboxylic acid, 3-aminoazetidine-3-carboxylic acid and 3-aminothietane-3-carboxylic acid), starting from 1-chloro-2,3-epoxypropane, are reported together with a summary of their biological actions at the NMDA receptor-ion channel complex.
