The direct asymmetric aldol reaction of glycinates represents an intriguing and straightforward strategy to make biologically significant chiral β-hydroxy-α-amino-acid derivatives. But it is not easy to realize the transformation due to the disruption of the reactive NH2 group of glycinates. Inspired by the enzymatic aldol reaction of glycine, we successfully developed an asymmetric aldol reaction of glycinate 5 and trifluoromethyl ketones 4 with 0.1–0.0033 mol % of chiral N-methyl pyridoxal 7 a as the catalyst, producing chiral β-trifluoromethyl-β-hydroxy-α-amino-acid esters 6 in 55–82 % yields (for the syn-diastereomers) with up to >20:1 dr and 99 % ee under very mild conditions. The reaction proceeds via a catalytic cycle similar to the enzymatic aldol reaction of glycine. Pyridoxal catalyst 7 a activates both reactants at the same time and brings them together in a specific spatial orientation, accounting for the high efficiency as well as excellent diastereo- and enantioselectivities.

A novel route to access trifluoromethylketones (TFMKs) from Weinreb amides is reported. This represents the first documented case of the Ruppert-Prakash reagent (TMS-CF3) reacting in a constructive manner with an amide and enables synthesis of TMFKs without risk of over-trifluoromethylation.

Application of the modified Mosher method using high-field FT 1H NMR to the 2-methoxy-2-phenyl-2-trifluoromethyl acetic acid (MTPA) derivatives of fluorinated secondary alcohols indicates that this method may be generally used to determine the absolute configurations of these materials.
