[reaction: see text] Stereoselective approaches to alpha-trifluoromethylated alpha-amino acids (alpha-Tfm AAs) have been developed. The stereoconfigurations of the resulting alpha-Tfm AA precursors were well controlled by using different solvents. The optically active (S)-2-amino-2-phenyl-1,1,1-trifluoropropanoic acid was synthesized by this method.
