Abstract
Description
Technical Field

[0002] With the wide application of more and more fluorine-containing compounds in the fields of pesticides, pharmaceuticals and material chemistry, organofluorine chemistry has achieved unprecedented development in the 19th century. Especially in recent decades, the synthetic methods for constructing bioactive molecules containing fluoroalkyl fragments have received extensive attention from scientists.
[0003] Fluoroamino acids are a very important class of unnatural amino acids. Due to the strong electron-withdrawing ability, high lipophilicity and large steric hindrance of the fluorine-containing group itself, fluoroamino acids exhibit some special physiological activities. Currently, many fluoroamino acids have been used as probes for tracking biochemical reactions.
[0004] In addition, due to the compact structure and strong lipophilicity of fluoroamino acids, introducing them into polypeptide drugs can significantly improve the biological activity of such drugs, making them not easily catalyzed and decomposed by enzymes in vivo, while enhancing their penetration ability in vivo, which is beneficial to the absorption of drugs in vivo. Therefore, it becomes very important and meaningful to develop a general, simple and efficient method for synthesizing amino acids and polypeptide compounds with diverse structures and different fluoro group substitutions.
