Fluoroalkenes serve as bioisosteres to peptide bonds and are resistant to hydrolytic enzymes in vivo. Currently, α-fluoro-α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds are readily accessible via general synthetic methods; however, β-fluoro-α,β-unsaturated carbonyl groups are more challenging to construct. To address this need, we have designed a reagent, morpholine 3,3,3-trifluoropropanamide, that creates (<i>E</i>)-β-fluoro-α,β-unsaturated amides upon the addition of many commonly used Grignard reagents. ...[more]
