Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/0008-6215(83)88457-2

Acetyl hypofluorite has been added to six unsaturated carbohydrates that contain a vinyl ether moiety.All reactions were rapid (<5 min at -78 deg C) and gave, with one exception, high yields of isomerically pure products.The hypofluorite was shown to add
