The title compound 1 was prepared from L ‐leucine. The key steps include a Grignard addition to Bn 2 ‐leucinal, a CO/CF 2 replacement with Et 2 NSF 3 (DAST) and use of a Ph group as synthetic equivalent of a COOH group. The difluoro‐ δ ‐amino acid 1 was incorporated into a peptide 8 ; tests with various proteases showed no inhibition by this particular peptide.
