abstract

  • A quinoline-based ligand was shown to promote palladium-catalyzed β-C(sp(3))-H fluorination for the first time. A range of unnatural enantiopure fluorinated α-amino acids were obtained through sequential β-C(sp(3))-H arylation and subsequent stereoselective fluorination from readily available L-alanine.
