Germyl anion species-promoted formation of cyanofluoromethylene compounds: first and efficient synthesis of fluorinated homoallylic and homoprop-2-ynylic cyanides
Abstract
Various fluorinated homoallylic and homoprop-2-ynylic cyanides could be synthesized from 2-fluoro-2-phenylthio-2-phenylacetonitrile and some allylic or prop-2-ynylic chlorides in excellent yields by use of a germyl anion species.
