The reaction occurred instantaneously at -78 °C to give the fluoroalkenyliodonium salts in good yields with high stereoselectivity. The Pd-catalyzed carbomethoxylation of the fluoroalkenyliodonium salt was also carried out to obtain a (E)-β-fluoro-α,β-unsaturated ester. Key words iodonium salt - fluoroalkene - p-iodotoluene difluoride - stereoselective synthesis - fluorination reaction Full Text References References 1a Welch JT. Eswarakrishnan S.

A vinylic hydrogen of 2a appeared at 6.70 ppm as a doublet (3 J H-F = 14.4 Hz), which was in good agreement with the reported data of a (E)-β-fluoroalkenyliodonium salt; see ref.7 A larger coupling constant (3 J H-F = 33.2 Hz) was observed from (Z)-2-fluorododecenyliodonium tetrafluoroborate: Yoshida M.
