Abstract

A variety of structural types of fluorinated allylic acetates, prepared by vinylalumination of fluorinated aldehydes, were reacted with the benzophenone imine of glycine tert-butyl ester to provide 4-(fluorobenzylidenyl)-and 4-(fluoroalkylidenyl) glutamic acid derivatives in 61– 96% yield. The 4-(4-fluorobenzylidenyl) glutamic acid derivative was hydrolyzed to give the 4-(4-fluorobenzylidenyl) pyroglutamate and then hydrogenated to the 4-(4-fluorobenzyl) ...
