Here we report the first large-scale synthesis of Fmoc-(<i>S</i>)-2-amino-6,6,6-trifluorohexanoic acid via asymmetric alkylation of chiral Ni(II)-complex of glycine Schiff base with CF<sub>3</sub>(CH<sub>2</sub>)<sub>3</sub>I. The synthesis was performed on over 100 g scale and can be recommended as the most advanced procedure for reliable preparation of large amounts of enantiomerically pure Fmoc-(<i>S</i>)-2-amino-6,6,6-trifluorohexanoic acid for protein engineering and drug design.
