Preparation of (Z)-1-fluoro-1-alkenyl carboxylates, carbonates and carbamates through chromium mediated transformation of dibromofluoromethylcarbinyl esters and the reactivity as double acyl group donors
CrCl2/Mn-mediated transformation of various dibromofluoromethylcarbinyl esters including carboxylates, carbonates and carbamates provided 1-fluoro-1-alkenyl esters via [2,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement of ester group. Reaction proceeded by using CrCl2/Mn system under mild conditions (in THF at room temperature) to give 1-fluoro-1-alkenyl esters in good yield with an excellent Z selective manner. 1-Fluoro-1-alkenyl
