• -nucleophile; CF3-aldimine; fluorinated propargylamine; Introduction In recent years, substitution of hydrogen by fluorine atoms or fluorine-containing groups usually provides unexpected biological and physicochemical properties, which thus has become an established approach for the development of

• relevant heterocyclic compounds [20][21][22][23][24]. Thus, fluorinated propargylamine, in particular, chiral trifluoromethylpropargylamine, should be considered of great research interest due to the apparently advantageous pharmaceutical profile of CF3-containing drugs [25][26]. For example, DPC 961
