Racemic 3-amino-4,4.4-trifluorobutanoic acid was synthesized by conden
sation of 4,4,4-trifluoroacetoacetic acid methyl ester with benzylamin
e, isomerisation of the enamine to 3-(N-benzyliden)amino-4,4,4-trifluo
robutanoic acid and hydrolysis of the Schiff base. The racemic amino a
cid was resolved via the penicillin acylase catalyzed hydrolysis of it
s phenylacetyl derivative, and the absolute configuration of the (-)-e
nantiomer was determined by X-ray analysis. [alpha]D25 for (R)- and (S
)-3-amino-4,4,4-trifluorobutanoic acid (1%, 6 N HCl) are +27.6 and -27
.2-degrees, respectively.
