Access to Constrained Fluoropseudopeptides via Ring-Closing Metathesis of Fluoroalkenes.

Bis-alkene substrates, containing one fluoroalkene and linked by an amide moiety, have been designed and synthesized to be subjected to ring-closing metathesis reactions. The substitution of fluoroalkene by a phenyl group enhanced the reactivity, and the resulting fluorinated lactams were obtained in high yields except when a hindered alkyl group was present in the molecule. The cycles were then subjected to ring opening in order to develop a new route to constrained fluoropseudopeptides bearing a fluoroalkene as a peptide bond mimic.
