Nucleophilic substitution of optically active 1-alkoxypolyfluoroalkyl sulfonates
Abstract
Reaction of 1-alkoxypolyfluoroalkyl sulfonates with lithium tetraalkylaluminates gives stereospecifically alkylated products with a high degree of inversion of configuration; in contrast, the ees of the resulting ethers are slightly reduced in the reaction with trialkylaluminium reagents.
