Partially saturated fluorinated heterocycles: diastereo- and enantioselective synthesis of β-trifluoromethyl-pyrroline carboxylates

摘要

The first asymmetric synthesis of β-trifluoromethylated pyrroline carboxylates has been achieved by organocatalytic conjugated addition of adamantyl glycine imine to β-trifluoromethylated enones, followed by a deprotection/cyclization/dehydration sequence.
