Metal-free, efficient oxyfluorination of olefins for the synthesis of α-fluoroketones

Org Lett. 2014 Jul 3;16(13):3460-3. doi: 10.1021/ol501357w. Epub 2014 Jun 5.

Abstract

A novel oxyfluorination of olefin reactions has been developed. The reactions involve a metal-free and green catalytic system for the synthesis of α-fluoroketones which is an important building block for organic synthesis. Moreover, this reaction system exhibits great functional group tolerance.
