Alai/r[(Z)-CF=C]-Pro containing N, 0-diacylhydroxamic acid type protease inhibitors have been prepared as shown in Scheme 18 [63,64], The synthesis is based upon the use of fert-butyl-a-fluoro-trimethylsilylacetate in a variation of the Peterson olefination procedure to construct the necessary functionalized fluoroolefin. Treatment of 51 with 4 equiv. of lithium diisopropylamide (LDA) and 6equiv. of chlorotri-methylsilane at 78°C formed 52 in 71% yield. The key step is the Peterson olefination reaction of the TBDMS-protected 2-(hydroxymethyl)cyclopentanone (53) with tert-butyl-a-fluoro-a-trimethylsilylacetate (52). The fluoroolefin product was obtained as a mixture of (Z) (E) isomers (54). Separation of the double-bond isomers by column chromatography provided (Z) isomer (54) in 43% yield. Further...
