The modifiedJuliaolefinationreaction has been applied to develop a stereoselective synthesis of fluoroalkenoate derivatives from a fluorobenzothiazolyl sulfone and aldehydes or a ketone. The olefinationreaction can be achieved by using a variety of bases. DBU and DBU in the presence of MgBr2 were found to be the most efficient systems to prepare either (Z)- or (E)-alkenoates in moderate to excellent
A mild and reproducible method for the formation of a nonstabilized azomethine ylide was developed by photoinduced reaction catalyzed with eosin Y under green light irradiation. Resulting 1,3-dipole was trapped with fluoroalkenes, fluoroalkylated alkenes, and representative dipolarophiles to access pyrrolidine scaffolds, including spirocyclic compounds. The mechanism involved in this transformation
