- electrophilic fluorination represents an important and straightforward strategy for C-F bond formation at a carbon stereocenter, providing easy access to chiral fluoro-organic compounds [1][2]. Due to the significance of chiral fluoro-organic compounds, such as fluorinated quinolones [3][4] and liquid crystals
- [5], in pharmaceutical and material sciences considerable effort has been dedicated to this issue for decades [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17]. As a consequence, a variety of procedures have been developed to increase the yields and enantioselectivities of electrophilic fluorination
- ][59][60][61][62][63][64] procedures for enantioselective fluorination are major advances in recent years. The discovery that chiral ligands/metals can catalyze electrophilic fluorination with conventional fluorinating reagents has had a large impact on synthetic organic chemistry, because of the

- Marcin Sawicki Angela Kwok Matthew Tredwell Veronique Gouverneur University of Oxford, Chemistry Research Laboratory, Mansfield Road, Oxford, OX1 3TA, UK 10.1186/1860-5397-3-34 Abstract Acyclic allylic monofluorides were prepared by electrophilic fluorination of branched (E)-allylsilanes with
- highly efficient diastereoselective fluorodesilylation. We encountered more difficulties with the fluorination of acyclic allylsilanes A constructed by metathetic coupling of allyltrimethysilane with chiral olefinic partners (eq. 1, Scheme 1). Although high yielding, the electrophilic fluorination of
- highly efficient and stereoselective synthesis of alkenes featuring bis-allylic stereocentres, one of them being fluorinated, emerged from this study. Significantly, alkenes flanked by two allylic fluorinated stereogenic centres are also accessible upon double electrophilic fluorination of (E

- are finding increasing utility in pharmaceutical, fine chemicals and materials research. The zwitterionic aza-Claisen rearrangement proved to be an effective and competitive complement to asymmetric electrophilic fluorination strategies and provides access to versatile synthetic intermediates with
- iodolactonisation to generate α-fluoro-γ-butyrolactones, with good diastereoselectivities (~80–100% de). These molecules are useful intermediates for further derivatisation in the area of nucleoside analogue synthesis and the method is complementary to asymmetric electrophilic fluorination strategies for the
