A New Approach towards the Asymmetric Fluorination of Alkenes Using Anionic Phase-Transfer Catalysts.

Abstract

Chiral anions can do it: Asymmetric phase-transfer catalysis is no longer limited to cationic catalysts. Lipophilic BINOL phosphate anions are superior catalysts for the asymmetric electrophilic fluorination of alkenes under phase-transfer conditions. Now complex fluorinated compounds can be synthesized selectively from simple alkene starting materials.
