M. Moroni et al., First synthesis of totally orthogonal protected alpha-(trifluoromethyl)- and alpha-(difluoromethyl)arginines, J ORG CHEM, 66(1), 2001, pp. 130-133
The first synthesis of a series of totally orthogonal protected racemic alp
ha-(trifluoromethyl)- and alpha-(difluoromethyl)arginines is described. The
key steps of the synthesis are the mild guanidinylation procedure and the
selective hydrogenation of a CC triple bond in the presence of a Cbz-group.
