γ-FLUOROGLUTAMIC ACID
The synthesis of γ-fluoroglutamic acid, HOOCCHFCH2CH(NH2)COOH, was achieved by two independent methods, both of which involved the Michael reaction: (1) methyl α-fluoroacrylate and diethyl acetamidomalonate gave the transesterified intermediate, which on hydrolysis produced γ-fluoroglutamic acid (31% yield); (2) ethyl α-acetamidoacrylate and diethyl fluoromalonate reacted under mild conditions to give, after hydrolysis, the required amino acid in 56% overall yield. Of the two procedures, the second is preferable, since it is based on more readily available starting materials and gives a higher yield.
