Synthesis of (2S,3S)-3'-fluoroisoleucine.
The fluorinated amino acid, (2S,3S)-3'-fluoroisoleucine 3, has been synthesised by a route involving stereoselective cuprate or photochemical addition to the compound 4, derived in turn from (2S)-pyroglutamic acid. This provides a reporter group for the hydrophobic amino acid (2S)-isoleucine for use in protein studies.
