Synthesis cis-3-Aminocyclobutanecarboxylic acid(CAS#:74316-27-1)

I have synthesized 3-Oxocyclobutanecarboxylic acid (CAS#:23761-23-1), Who can give some suggestions about synthesizing cis-3-Aminocyclobutanecarboxylic acid(CAS#:74316-27-1)?

Thanks in advance!

This is an amature chemistry forum. If you would like help on you profit making ventures perhaps it would be wise to give a little back such as doing a writeup on your synthesis of Oxo-cyclo-butanecarboxylic acid and see where it goes from there. Im sure you would get a MUCH warmer welcome here.

My consultations start at $75 an hour. Reductively aminate with sodium acetate and sodium cyanoborohydride, or form the Schiff base from benzylamine, reduce and de-benzylate. Isolate the cis- meso compound. Alternatively: esterify, reduce to the cis-alcohol with K-selectride, chlorinate with thionyl chloride in pyridine to give trans-chlorine, then aminate (gabriel, diphenylmethylamine, benzylamine, etc.) to give cis-amino group.
