Enantioselective synthesis of C3 fluoro-MEP

Org Biomol Chem. 2007 Jan 7;5(1):97-102. doi: 10.1039/b613656g. Epub 2006 Nov 10.

Abstract

The first enantioselective synthesis of C(3) fluoro-MEP is herein reported. The synthetic pathway developed takes advantage of a selective hydrofluorination of a 2,3-epoxy-1-alcohol to introduce the required tertiary fluoride unit.
