F. Tellier et R. Sauvetre, REDUCTION OF 1,1-DIFLUORO-1-ALKEN-3-OLS WITH LITHIUM TETRAHYDROALUMINATE - APPLICATION TO THE SYNTHESIS OF 1,1-DIFLUORO-2-ALKENES AND 2-ALKENALS, Journal of fluorine chemistry, 76(2), 1996, pp. 181-185
The reduction of 1,1-difluoro-1-alken-3-ols with lithium tetrahydroalu
minate is described. The 1-fluoro-1-alken-3-ols obtained can be transf
ormed to enals or difluoromethylated allylic derivatives.
