“…In this way a series of monofluorinated aliphatic amino acids has been prepared (Raasch, 1958;Hudlkck~, 1960Hudlkck~, , 1961Tolman et al, 1967Tolman et al, , 1983Tolman et al, , 1993. Alternatively 2-fluoromalonate and ethyl 2-acetamidoacrylate have been used for the Michael-type bond formation (Buchanan et al, 1962). Furthermore, Sch611kopf's (1983) bis-lactimether methodology has been used for the synthsis of ethyl (+)-y-fluoroleucinate (Papageorgiou et al, 1994).…”
