Abstract
The combination of PhIO and HF·py enables fluorination of functionalized aromatic olefins bearing synthetically important carbonyl and hydroxyl groups. Fluorination of for example 1,3-diphenyl-2-propen-1-one with PhIO/HF·py reagent gave 3,3-difluoro-1,2-diphenyl-1-propanone in high yield. The fluorination of cinnamyl alcohol derivatives proceeded smoothly to afford 2-aryl-3,3-difluoro-1-propanols in moderate yields.
