Cross-metathesis reactions as an efficient tool in the synthesis of fluorinated cyclic β-amino acids

Article abstract of DOI:10.1021/jo900296d

The synthesis of enantiomerically pure, cyclic, γ,γ- difluorinated β-amino acids with various ring sizes has been carried out with a cross-metathesis (CM) reaction being one of the key steps, followed by a Dieckmann-type condensation to bring about the cy
