Abstract: The process according to the invention for the preparation of enantiomerically pure cyclopentane-.beta.-amino acids of the general formula (I) ##STR1## in which A and D have the meanings given in the description, is characterized in that meso-dicarboxylic acid anhydrides are first converted by asymmetric alcoholysis with allyl alcohols and in the presence of a chiral amine base present in enantiomerically pure form, in inert solvents, via the intermediate enantiomerically pure salt stage, into the enantiomerically pure dicarboxylic acid monoesters, in a further step these dicarboxylic acid monoesters are intermediately converted, in the sense of a Curtius rearrangement by reaction with azides, into the corresponding acid azides, and are subsequently converted into the corresponding rearranged isocyanates and the isocyanates are then reacted with allyl alcohols to give the compounds of the general formula (VII), and finally the cyclopentane-.beta.

Abstract: Carnitine, aminocarnitine and cysteic acid serve as carriers to bring pharmaceutically active compounds to desired sites in the body, e.g. skeletal muscle or the heart. The pharmaceutically active compound can be a protease inhibitor, a cardioactive drug for combating arrythmia, etc. The linkage is chemical through one or more alcohol, carboxyl or amine groups using reagents such as glutaraldehyde, dicarboxylic acid anhydrides and acid halides and carbodiimides. Carnitine derivatives are also incorporated into liposomes which are then used as carriers of active pharmaceutical agents.
