K. Uneyama et al., A NOVEL SYNTHESIS OF BETA-TRIFLUOROMETHYL-SUBSTITUTED ISOSERINE VIA INTRAMOLECULAR REARRANGEMENT OF IMINO ETHERS, Tetrahedron letters, 39(23), 1998, pp. 4079-4082
The methodology for the construction of beta-trifluoromethyl-substitut
ed isoserine is reported The fluorinated alpha-hydroxy-beta-imino este
rs which are the precursors to amino add derived isoserine were formed
firstly via a base catalyzed intramolecular rearrangement of imino et
hers, and the subsequent conversions of these compounds resulted in th
e formation of the designed isoserines and the related fluorinated com
pounds. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
