Abstract

The scope of a tandem conjugate addition− fluorination sequence performed on α, β- unsaturated esters using the enantiopure lithium amide derived from (S)-N-benzyl-N-(α- methylbenzyl) amine, and the electrophilic fluorinating agent N-fluorobenzenesulfonimide has been investigated. Using this method, α-fluoro-β3-amino esters can be obtained in up to quantitative yield and 80: 20 to> 99: 1 dr. This simple methodology does not rely on the ...
