Abstract

Treatment of enantiomerically pure (S)-4-alkyl-5, 5-diphenyl-oxazolidinones, themselves derived from appropriate amino acids, with HF–pyridine (Olah's reagent) generated a range of (S)-α-(fluorodiphenylmethyl) alkylamines. These compounds represent a novel range of fluorinated chiral amines.
