title: Stereoselective synthesis of anti-alpha-(difluoromethyl)-beta-amino alcohols by boronic acid based three-component condensation. Stereoselective preparation of (2S,3R)-difluorothreonine.
abstract: Starting from optically active 3,3-difluorolactaldehyde, an alkenyl or aryl boronic acid, and an amine, a one-step three-component methodology was developed for the stereoselective preparation of anti-alpha-(difluoromethyl)-beta-amino alcohols. beta-Furyl-substituted anti-alpha-(difluoromethyl)-beta-amino alcohol was further elaborated to form (2S,3R)-difluorothreonine in high yield and ee.
