Abstract
Achieving acyclic conformational control over several bonds has been realized by the strategic installation of a vicinal difluoroethane bridge in a generic proline-derived organocatalyst. The torsion angle ϕFCCF is governed by stabilizing hyperconjugative interactions (σ→σ*), thus ensuring a 60° relationship. This effect has been telescoped by positioning a stereogenic fluorine center proximal to the nucleophilic amine. Upon iminium formation, this center is rendered electron deficient, thus triggering a dynamic fluorine iminium ion gauche effect. Consequently, conformational control over five atoms and four bonds can be achieved by reversible formation of an iminium π-bond.
