The hydrolysis of methyl D,L-3,3-difluorophenyl alanate (1a) and methyl D,L-3,3-difluoro-2-aminobutanoate (1b) and their N-acetyl derivatives 2a and 2b by subtilisin has been studied.All derivatives examined were enzymatically resolved to separable mixtures of the corresponding 3,3-difluoro-L-amino acids (3a and 3b) or N-acetylamino acids (5a and 5b) and the unchanged 3,3-difluoro-D-amino esters (4a and 4b) or N-acetylamino esters (6a and 6b).Acidic hydrolysis of methyl 3,3-difluoro-D-phenyl alanate (4a) or its N-acetyl derivative 6a led to 3,3-difluoro-D-phenyl alanine (8a).In the same manner, L- and D-2-amino-3,3-difluorobutanoic acids 7b and 8b were prepared starting from 5b and 6b.Optical purity and enantiomeric excess were determined by GC analysis of the N-acetyl esters and by NMR analysis determined in the presence of Eu(tfc)3.By these methods, unchanged methyl 3,3-difluoro-D-amino ester derivatives showed an ee of >/= 90percent while L-amino acids were estimated to have >/= 95percent ee. - Keywords: Enzymatic hydrolysis; Methyl difluoroamino esters; Difluoroamino acids; NMR spectroscopy; Subtilisin Carlsburg; Optical activity

The reaction of hydrogen fluoride in pyridine solution with a series of substituted 1-azirines (1) was investigated. β,β-Difluoro amines (4) were obtained in good yields.The exceptions are the cases of 2-phenyl-3-methyl-1-azirine (1b) and 2,3-diphenyl-1-azirine (1c) for which the direct formation of a stabilized carbocation (6) from the azirinium ion 2 is probable.The former gave 54 percent of a pyrazine (11b) and 5 percent of α-fluoropropiophenone (9b) along with 20 percent of difluoro amine 4b, while the latter afforded only the corresponding α-fluoro ketone (9c).A mechanism is suggested.
