Abstract

Despite the great advances achieved in the Pauson-Khand reaction and the ever-increasing demand for fluorinated compounds, the use of vinyl fluorides as olefinic counterparts in the above-mentioned transformation had been completely overlooked. Herein, we describe, for the first time, the intramolecular Pauson-Khand reaction of enynes containing a vinyl fluoride moiety.
