title: Rapid, general access to chiral beta-fluoroamines and beta,beta-difluoroamines via organocatalysis.
abstract: A rapid, general route to enantiopure beta-fluoroamines and beta,beta-difluoroamines has been developed employing organocatalysis in both a two-pot and a one-pot procedure. Both chemical yields (64-82%) and enantioselectivity (94-98% ee) were excellent and represent a significant improvement in the art of preparing chemically diverse beta-fluoroamines from readily available precursors.
