Abstract:
Showing Off New Skills: Fluorinated sulfoximines, known as fluoroalkylation reagents for the asymmetric synthesis of organofluorine compounds, have now been found to act as carbonyl-olefination reagents. This newly discovered reactivity was used to tackle the long-standing challenge of the stereoselective synthesis of terminal monofluoroalkenes from the corresponding aldehydes or ketones (see scheme).
