Abstract
Abstract Here we report the first large‐scale synthesis of Fmoc‐(S)‐2‐amino‐6,6,6‐trifluorohexanoic acid via asymmetric alkylation of chiral Ni(II)‐complex of glycine Schiff base with CF3(CH2)3I. The synthesis was performed on over 100 g scale and can be recommended as the most advanced procedure for reliable preparation of large amounts of enantiomerically pure Fmoc‐(S)‐2‐amino‐6,6,6‐trifluorohexanoic acid for protein engineering and drug design. Chiral auxiliary used in this protocol can be >90 % recovered and reused.
Large-scale synthesis of Fmoc(S)2amino6,6,6trifluorohexanoic acid has been achieved, providing enantiomerically pure acid for protein engineering and drug design.
