Abstract

Abstract In this paper, a simple and efficient preparation of β-fluoroenones, as a mixture of E/Z isomers with the E-isomer as the main product, from 1, 2-allenic ketones by using TBAF· 3H 2 O in water as a nucleophilic fluorination agent has been developed. Moreover, in exploring the synthetic applications of β-fluoroenones, an unprecedented reductive defluorination rearrangement of β-fluoroenones toward enones under mild conditions in ...
