type (6, 11 and 14) were submitted to silver ion-assisted ringopening. No rearrangement, but only fragmentation or direct solvolysis was found to take place. In the latter case, primary rather than tertiary 2-fluoroallyl alcohols are formed almost exclusively. Nucleophilicattack at the unsubstituted terminus of the 2-fluoroallyl cation is apparently favored for steric reasons.
