Abstract

The modified Julia olefination is now a powerful tool for the synthesis of a large range of functionalized alkenes. This short review covers the last five years and provides an overview of the synthesis of mono-, difluoro-, and trifluoromethyl-substituted alkenes via the modified Julia olefination focusing on the novel scope of this reaction.

1 Introduction

2 Monofluoroalkenes

2.1 Disubstituted α- and β-Monofluoroalkenes

2.2 Bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl Sulfones

2.3 Conjugated Monofluoroalkenes

2.4 Intramolecular Julia Olefination

2.5 Smiles Rearrangement from Fluorinated Keto Sulfones

2.6 Fluoroallylamines

2.7 Fluorinated exo-Glycals

2.8 Monofluoroalkenes with an α-Stereocenter at the Allylic Position

3 1,1-Difluoroalkenes

4 Trifluoromethyl-Substituted Alkenes

5 Conclusion
