A gold-catalyzed Povarov-type reaction of fluorinated imino esters and furans is described. The process, which takes place in dichoromethane at room temperature, gives rise to novel fluorinated tetrahydrofuran-fused tetrahydroquinolines in good yields and moderate levels of diastereoselectivity in a very simple manner. The reported examples expand the versatility of the Povarov reaction to unprecedented fluorinated substrates, generating scaffolds that contain quaternary α-amino acid units.
