Fluorination often confers a range of advantages in modulating the conformation and reactivity of small molecule organocatalysts. By strategically introducing fluorine substituents, as part of a β-fluoroamine motif, in a triazolium pre-catalyst, it was possible to modulate the behaviour of the corresponding N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) with minimal steric alterations to the catalyst core. In this study, the effect of hydrogen to fluorine substitution was evaluated as part of a molecular editing study. X-ray crystallographic analyses of a number of derivatives are presented and the conformations are discussed. Upon deprotonation, the fluorinated triazolium salts generate catalytically active N-heterocyclic carbenes, which can then participate in the enantioselective Steglich rearrangement of oxazolyl carbonates to C-carboxyazlactones (e.r. up to 87.0:13.0).

Paragraph 0065-0067, (2018/10/26)
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a production method of optically active fluorine-containing amino acids useful as a synthetic intermediate of pharmaceutical and agricultural chemicals. SOLUTION: Optically active fluorine-containing amino acids expressed by general formula (4) or general formula (5) are obtained by a radical addition reaction of a halocarboxylic acid ester to an optically active trifluoromethyl tert-butyl sulfine imide. In formula (4), R1 represents a methyl group, an ethyl group or a linear, branched or cyclic alkyl group having 3 to 4 carbon atoms; X represents a halogen atom; and n represents an integer of 1 to 5. In formula (5), R1 and n are the same as defined above. COPYRIGHT: (C)2015,JPOandINPIT
