Fluoroalkyl substituted (Z)-dehydro α-amino ester as a building block for the fluorine-containing cyclopropyl α-amino esters and dihydrooxazole

Multi-functionalized β-trifluoromethyl and β-difluoromethyl substituted (Z)-α,β-dehydro α-amino esters have been successfully prepared from N-protected fluorinated threonine ester. Applications of this new fluorine-containing building block to the synthesis of biologically important fluorinated cylcopropyl α-amino esters and dihydrooxazole ester have also been reported.
