β-Fluorinated proline derivatives: potential transition state inhibitors for proline selective serine dipeptidases

Three new types of β-fluorinated proline derivatives were synthesized as potential transition state inhibitors for proline selective serine dipeptidases. The fluorophosponate derived from protected proline was tested as a Wadsworth–Horner–Emmons reagent for the synthesis of fluoro-olefin-containing pseudodipeptides.
