Sequential cross-metathesis/electrophilic fluorodesilylation: a novel entry to functionalized allylic fluorides

Org Lett. 2003 Dec 11;5(25):4891-3. doi: 10.1021/ol035991a.

Abstract

Various allylic fluorides were prepared using a two-step process involving a cross-metathesis of allyltrimethylsilane with different olefinic partners followed by a fluorodesilylation of the corresponding functionalized allylsilanes with Selectfluor. [reaction: see text]
