title: Convenient syntheses of homopropargylglycine.
abstract: An improved classic Strecker synthesis was elaborated leading to racemic homopropargylglycine (Hpg) in 61% overall yield, while an asymmetric Strecker reaction produced Hpg and the higher homolog 2-aminohept-6-ynoic acid in significantly higher yields and over 80% ee.
