Abstract
(−)‐(R)‐4,4,4,4′,4′,4′‐Hexafluorovaline hydrochloride ((R)‐5) of 98% ee is prepared from β,β‐bis(trifluoromethyl)acrylic acid (= benzyl 4,4,4‐trifluoro‐3‐(trifluoromethyl)but‐2‐enoate; 1) in 4 steps with an overall yield of 9.6%. Key step is the separation of the TsOH salts of the diastereoisomers obtained by anti‐Michael addition of (+)‐(R)‐1‐phenylethylamine (2) to 1 (→ (R,R)‐3). In contrast to the published (S)‐chirality, the X‐ray structure analysis of (R,S)‐6 reveals, that (R)‐chirality has to be assigned to the levorotatory (−)‐4,4,4,4′,4′,4′‐hexafluorovaline hydrochloride.

Intriguing association behavior in solution is exhibited by the rigid macrocycle 1. For instance, it reacts with organic cations to give ternary complexes of the composition (1⋅cation)⋅1, and with analogous macrocycles without cyano groups it forms heteroaggregates. R=CO C H .
Addition of various amines to the 3,3-bis(trifluoromethyl)acrylamides 10a and 10b gave the tripeptides 11a -11f, mostly as mixtures of epimers (Scheme 3). The crystalline tripeptide 11f 2 was found to be the N-terminal (2-hydroxyethoxy)-substituted (R,S,S)-ester HOCH 2 CH 2 O-d-Val(F 6 )-MeLeu-Ala-O
