Asymmetric construction of fluorinated imidazolidines via Cu(i)-catalyzed exo′-selective 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of azomethine ylides with fluorinated imines

Abstract

Expedient access to optically active fluorinated 2,4-trans-imidazolidines was successfully developed via Cu(I)-catalyzed exo'-selective 1,3-DC of azomethine ylides with fluorinated imines.
