Highly Diastereoselective Electrophilic Fluorination of Cyclic syn-β-
Hydroxysilanes

Abstract

A synthesis of enantioenriched fluorinated carbocycles has been developed combining a sequential enantioselective silyl­allylboration-ring-closing metathesis with a highly diastereoselective electrophilic fluorination.

allylsilane - fluorine - stereoselectivity - silicon
