Stereocontrolled synthesis of N-heterocyclic fluorine-containing β-amino acid derivatives

Abstract

A stereocontrolled procedure is reported for the access of various fluorine-containing piperidine and azepane β-amino esters. The synthetic protocol starts from readily available unsaturated cycloalkene β-amino acids and is based on oxidative cleavage of the ring olefin bond followed by ring closing of the diformyl intermediates in the presence of some fluorine-containing amines across reductive amination.
