title: Concise synthesis of enantiopure alpha-trifluoromethyl alanines, diamines, and amino alcohols via the Strecker-type reaction.
abstract: Diastereomerically pure alpha-trifluoromethyl alpha-amino nitriles obtained by Strecker-type reactions from chiral CF3 imines and iminium proved to be very attractive versatile intermediates for the synthesis of various alpha-trifluoromethyl amino compounds. From these synthons, both enantiomers of alpha-trifluoromethyl alanine, trifluoromethyl 1,2-diamines, and amino alcohols were conveniently obtained in enantiopure form in high yields in a few steps.
