Abstract
The combination of a proline-catalyzed Mannich-type reaction between protected fluorinated aldimines and 4-pentenal followed by reduction and regioselective O-allylation gives γ-amino ethers that can then be used as substrates for ring-closing metathesis (RCM) reactions to afford fluorinated β-aminoalkyloxepines in a highly stereo- and enantioselective fashion.
Key words

In the case of γ-amino alcohol 2c, however, the yield in the O-allylation reaction was substantially lower because of competitive side reactions. As the O-allylation product turned out to be very difficult to purify, we decided not to continue with this substrate.
