Synthesis of fluorinated cyclopropyl amino acid analogues: toward the synthesis of original fluorinated peptidomimetics.

ABSTRACT

A straightforward, easy, and practical access to various amino acid analogues (methionine, leucine, lysine, and arginine) from a unique fluorinated cyclopropane scaffold is described. Moreover, the synthesis, for the first time, of one tripeptide incorporating a fluorinated cyclopropane amino acid (FCAA) analogue is reported.
