Synthesis of fluoro- and polyfluoro-veratraldehydes by electrophilic fluorination

Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/0022-1139(95)90108-T

Lithiation of oxazolines derived from fluorinated veratric acid, followed by electrophilic fluorination and subsequent reductive oxazoline cleavage, provides a convenient route to di- and tri-fluoroveratraldehydes.Similarly, 4-fluoroveratrol was converted
