A convenient synthesis of optically active 3-morpholinecarboxylic acid and its thio analogue, tetrahydro-2H-1,4-thiazine-3-carboxylic acid, has been developed. These intermediates were obtained by reaction of benzyl (S)-N-benzyloxycarbonyl-2-aziridinecarboxylate and its enantiomer with 2-chloroethanol or 2-chloroethanethiol, respectively.
