R. Waschbusch et al., A NEW ROUTE TO ALPHA-FLUOROVINYLPHOSPHONATES UTILIZING PETERSON OLEFINATION METHODOLOGY, Tetrahedron, 52(45), 1996, pp. 14199-14216
Several alpha-fluorovinylphosphonates (6) have been synthesised from t
he Peterson olefination reaction applied to both aldehydes and ketones
in conjunction with alpha-fluoro-alpha-trimethylsilylmethylphosphonat
e (2). The reaction with aldehydes gives mainly the E-isomer whereas r
eaction with ketones gives mainly the Z-isomer. We propose a closed tr
ansition state to explain the results of our study. Copyright (C) 1996
