Significance

α-Alkenyl α-amino acids have attracted significant attention because of their potential bioactivities. The authors have developed synergistic Pd- and Cu-catalyzed enantioselective alkylation of 2-fluoro-1,3-dienes with aldimine esters to afford α-alkenyl α-amino acids.

Comment

The enantioselective C(sp2)–F bond alkylation of 2-fluoro-1,3-dienes with aldimine esters proceeded smoothly through Pd/Cu catalysis to afford the corresponding α-alkenyl α-amino acids in high yields and excellent enantiopurities. Moreover, the products could be subjected to further transformations, such as cyclization.
