Abstract

A Shapiro fluorination reaction enables a direct access to fluoroalkenes in good stereoselectivity in one- or two-step sequences from widely available ketones. This strategy should be useful for the preparation of fluorinated analogs of peptide-based therapeutics, many of which would be challenging to prepare by alternate strategies.
