Finally, the value of this methodology for access to complex amines is supported by the deprotecting phthalimido group. In this regard, another important structural motif seen in medicinal chemistry are g-difluoroalkylated amines, but methods to access these valuable structures is sparse. As shown in Scheme 6, benzyl amine 8 was obtained from 4a in 98% yield using the Ing-Manske procedure, offering potential opportunities for applications in the synthesis of high valuable g-difluoroalkylated amines and fluorinated amino acids. 15 Scheme 6.
