Solution and fluorous phase synthesis of β,β-difluorinated 1-amino-1-cyclopentane carboxylic acid derivatives

An efficient protocol for the preparation of β,β-difluorinated 1-amino-1-cyclopentane carboxylic acid derivatives was developed. 2,2-Difluro-4-phenyl-3-butenoic acid 6 was used as substrate for the preparation of the starting vinyl difluoro imino esters 8. The key steps of this methodology rely on the chemo- and diastereoselective addition of allylzinc bromides over the iminic functionality of 8 and subsequent RCM reaction. This synthetic sequence was successfully applied to fluorous synthesis.
