Eliminative Deoxofluorination Using XtalFluor-E: A One-Step Synthesis of Monofluoroalkenes from Cyclohexanone Derivatives.
Mathilde VandammeJean-François PaquinPublished in: Organic letters (2017)
The eliminative deoxofluorination of cyclohexanone derivatives using XtalFluor-E is described. The corresponding monofluoroalkenes are obtained in up to 79% yield. Notably, this one-step procedure occurs at room temperature using readily accessible and cost-effective reagents.
