Dedicated to Professor Dr. Rolf Huisgen on the occasion of his 95th birthday
A variety of functionalized β-amino-β-fluoroalkyl carbonyl compounds are accessible
via a novel one-pot Mannich-type reaction of CF2- and CF3-containing N-aryl N,O-acetals with lithium enolates of ketones, esters, and nitriles. The resulting β-fluoroalkylated
β-aminocarbonyl compounds are promising peptide surrogates to be used in drug development
and for biological applications.
