Facile preparation of fluorine-containing alkenes, amides and alcohols via the electrophilic fluorination of alkenyl boronic acids and trifluoroborates

Article abstract of DOI:10.1055/s-1997-3228

Reaction of alkenyl boronic acids, or preferably alkenyl trifluoroborates, with one equivalent of Selectfluor gives the corresponding alkenyl fluorides. A similar reaction with two equivalents of Selectfluor in water or a nitrile solvent gives difluoromet
