Pyroglutamic acid smoothly reacts with sulfur tetrafluoride at room temperature to afford enantiomerically pure (5 S )‐5‐(trifluoromethyl)pyrrolidin‐2‐one (92 % yield, >99 %  ee ). Representative one‐step transformations of 1 provided both γ‐( S )‐trifluoromethyl GABA and (2 S )‐2‐(trifluoromethyl)pyrrolidine on a multigram scale.
