Abstract/OtherAbstract:
We have accomplished an asymmetric synthesis of each independent enantiomer of 4,4-difluoroglutamic acid. This alpha-amino acid has been of interest in medicinal chemistry circles. Key features of the synthesis include highly scalable procedures, a Reformatsky-based coupling reaction, and straightforward functional group manipulations to make the parent amino acid. Enantioenrichment derives from an enzymatic resolution of the synthetic material. Conversion of the optically enriched compounds to differentially protected forms allows selective formation of peptide bonds. 4,4- Difluoroglutamic acid, in a suitably protected form, is also shown to exhibit enhanced catalytic activity in both an oxidation reaction and a reduction reaction, in comparison to the analogous glutamic acid derivative.
