The Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) is a major health hazard and its infection is a leading cause of chronic liver disease world wide. In our efforts toward the discovery of a back up to our first clinical candidate, Boceprevir (SCH 503034), we approached the depeptidization of the molecule through macrocyclization. Herein we report the design and synthesis of fluoro amino acids with desired stereochemistry required for the synthesis of macrocyclic inhibitors with fluorine at various positions of the aliphatic chain. Biological activities of representative examples are also reported.
