Abstract
Asymmetric alkylation of (S)‐Boc‐BMI (1a, BMI = 2‐tert‐butyl‐3‐methylimidazolidin‐4‐one) and its α‐methyl derivative 1b with 2‐fluoroallyl tosylate, subsequent mild acidic deprotection of the products 2a and 2b, and basic hydrolysis of the thus formed N‐methylamides 4a and 4b gave (S)‐2‐amino‐4‐fluoropent‐4‐enoic acid (5a) and (S)‐2‐amino‐4‐fluoro‐2‐methylpent‐4‐enoic acid (5b). Basic hydrolysis of compound 4a was accompanied by partial racemization, which was overcome by applying a new stereoconservative deamidation procedure. The alkylated cis‐configured product 2a formed under kinetic control epimerized on refluxing with 2 n NaOH to give the thermodynamically more stable trans isomer 9. (© Wiley‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

## Abstract This account concentrates on our new methodologies for the synthesis of fluorine analogues of amino acids and their derivatives using the Reformatsky‐type reactions of ethyl bromodifluoroacetate and ethyl dibromofluoroacetate with imines promoted by the Wilkinson catalyst. First, we pre
