G. Karygiannis et al., PREPARATION AND PROPERTIES OF ENANTIOMERICALLY PURE N-ALPHA-TRITYLAMINO ACID FLUORIDES, Acta chemica Scandinavica, 52(9), 1998, pp. 1144-1150
Cyanuric fluoride-mediated fluorination of chiral N-alpha-tritylamino
acids leads to the corresponding acyl fluorides which are powerful acy
lating agents for peptide synthesis. The acyl fluorides react with NaB
H4, the stabilized phosphorane Ph3P=C(Me)CO2Me and Ruppert's reagent p
roviding access to enantiomerically pure tritylamino alcohols, alkenes
and trifluoromethyl ketones, respectively.
