The 4-fluoroleucinol may be synthesized according to Scheme 5. 4,5-Dehydroleucine is converted to (4S)-4-(2-methylprop-2-enyl)-1,3-oxazolidin-2-one as described in the scheme below. This intermediate is then treated with a hydrofluorination reagent such as BF-pyridine to give (4S)-4-(2-fluoro-2-methylpropyl)-1,3-oxazolidin-2-one. Basic hydrolysis (i.e. Ba(OH)2 or NaOH) then affords (2S)-2-amino-4-fluoro-4-methylpentan-1-ol, which may be used as shown in Scheme 2. Selective protection of the alcohol provides an intermediate that can be used in Scheme 3.
