An efficient synthesis of fluorinated enol ethers derived from carbohydrates is reported. A modified Julia olefination reaction of functionalized lactones with fluorine‐substituted sulfones gives the corresponding monofluorinated tri‐ or tetrasubstituted exo‐glycals.
Convenient access to homochiral fluoroalkenes is described via a Julia-Kocienski olefination reaction. The required homochiral fluorosulfone is synthesized by a Mitsunobu reaction from readily available enantiopure secondary alcohols.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
