Regioselective nucleophilic additions to cross-conjugated dienone system bearing beta-fluorine: a versatile approach to highly substituted 2-cyclopentenones

Org Lett. 2001 Jul 26;3(15):2345-8. doi: 10.1021/ol0161458.

Abstract

[reaction: see text] 3-Fluoro-5-methylene-2-cyclopentenone is treated with appropriate nucleophiles and Lewis acids to undergo regioselective 1,2-addition, exocyclic 1,4-addition, and endocyclic 1,4-addition, leading to 3-substituted 4-methylene-2-cyclopentenones, 5-substituted 3-fluoro-2-cyclopentenones, and 3-substituted 5-methylene-2-cyclopentenones in good yields, respectively.
