Abstract
Despite the presence of the highly electron-withdrawing fluorinated substituent, cyclic α-trifluoromethylated N-acyliminium ions were successfully generated from fluorinated O-acetyl-N,O-acetal l-tartaric acid derivatives. The addition of nitriles on these intermediates occurred with high to excellent syn diastereoselectivity and led, in most cases, to oxazolines and amides as single diastereomers. The diastereoselectivity of the addition and the nature of the reaction product depend on the substituents on the hydroxyl groups of the tartaric acid scaffold. This methodology gave access to enantiopure, highly functionalized 5-(trifluoromethyl)pyrrolidin-2-one derivatives, bearing the fluorinated substituent on a tetrasubstituted carbon.
