Abstract Fluorine, as a substituent in amino acids, has found its way into peptide and protein engineering. The basis for the use of this valuable tool is the synthetic accessibility of various fluorinated amino acids as building blocks of peptides and proteins. In this context, we present a straightforward eight-step synthesis of N-Fmoc- l -monofluoroethylglycine (MfeGly) via homoserine (Hse) as intermediate and using various nucleophilic fluorination strategies.
