Abstract

D-Cycloserine (DCS), a second stage drug for the treatment of tuberculosis, is synthesized in 19.8% overall yield from DL-serine methyl ester. This synthetic route gives both enantiomers of cycloserine via a corrected and improved one pot resolution procedure using D- and L-tartaric acids. The route is used to synthesize a 13C-labeled derivative for use in biological studies.
