Abstract:
Reaction of polysubstituted 2-hydroxyalkyldihydropyrans with DAST led regiospecifically to fluorination at the exocyclic position, except for primary alcohols. Difluorination of carbonylated analogues with deoxo-fluor™ occurred also regioselectively. The unexpected stability and synthetic potential of these new allylic fluorides are discussed.
