A New General Access to α-Trifluoromethyl-Substituted Aromatic and Heteroaromatic α-Amino Acids Syntheses of α-trifluoromethyl substituted heteroarylglycine and phenylalanine derivatives 7 bzw. 12a from 5-fluoro-2-phenyl-4-trifluoromethyloxazole (2) are described. The key step of the new method is a 1,3-benzyl shift from oxygen to carbon. The isolation of mixed products in "cross experiments"in the phenylalanine series supports the notion that the 1,3-benzyl shift is not a 1,3-sigmatropic process.
