The two isomers of 3-aminotropane-3-carboxylic acid have been prepared by hydrolysis of the two α- and β-tropane-3-spiro-5′-hydantoins whose configurations were determined by X-ray crystallography and 13C nmr. The [Formula: see text] values of these amino acids and the hydrolysis rates of their N-formyl derivatives have been determined to study the influence of the amino group in an axial or equatorial position. The biological transport – inhibitory action of the two tropane amino acids has also been compared.
