✦ Synopsis
a-Trifluoromethyl a-amino acids are potentially intaresting candidates for modification of biological active peptides. We report on new strategies for asymmetric synthesis of a-trifluoromethyl substituted a-amino acids. Approaches to amino group protection and carboxylic group activation are presented.
