Fluoride ion-initiated α-fluorovinylation of carbonyl compounds with α-fluorovinyldiphenylmethylsilane
Abstract
α-Fluorovinyldiphenylmethylsilane was synthesized in one step from 1,1-difluoroethylene; the TBAF-initiated reaction of the silane with carbonyl compounds smoothly proceeded to give the corresponding α-fluoroallylic alcohols in good yields.
