Addition of the Reformatsky reagent derived from ethyl bromodifluoroacetate to alkyl- and aryl-substituted N-tert-butylsulfinimines furnishes beta-tert-butylsulfinamyl-beta-substituted alpha,alpha-difluoroproponiates in diastereomeric ratios ranging from 80:20 to 95:5. The diastereomers are easily separated and the enantiomerically pure, protected beta-amino esters are readily transformed to the corresponding acid, amide, and amine derivatives as useful synthons for medicinal chemistry targets.
