Abstract

Polyfluorinated N-alpha-Fmoc-is an element of-Boc-L-lysine represents the best-in-class among a set of polyfluorinated amino acids (PFAs) which are useful tools for (19)F NMR-Based Screening. In this communication, optimized reaction conditions that allowed for the multi-gram preparation of this unnatural amino acid are reported.
