Title: Convenient asymmetric synthesis of beta-substituted alpha,alpha-difluoro-beta-amino acids via Reformatsky reaction between Davis' N-sulfinylimines and ethyl bromodifluoroacetate. Author: Sorochinsky A, Voloshin N, Markovsky A, Belik M, Yasuda N, Uekusa H, Ono T, Berbasov DO, Soloshonok VA. Journal: J Org Chem; 2003 Sep 19; 68(19):7448-54. PubMed ID: 12968899. Abstract: The enantiopure Davis' N-sulfinylimines were found to be efficient as chiral imine equivalents in the high-temperature Reformatsky-type additions with BrZnCF(2)COOEt affording an efficient approach to the enantiomerically pure alpha,alpha-difluoro-beta-amino acids. High chemical and stereochemical yields (drs > 9:1, and as high as 99:1) render this method immediately useful for preparing the target amino acids.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
