Z. Hell et al., Reaction of cyclopropane carboxylic acid derivatives with sulphur tetrafluoride - an example of a diastereoselective ring opening, J FLUORINE, 104(2), 2000, pp. 297-301
Cyclopropane carboxylic acid derivatives can be converted into trifluoromet
hyl group-containing compounds using SF4. Ln the case of a bicyclic cyclopr
opane carboxylic acid lactone, similar treatment with sulphur tetrafluoride
resulted in the cyclopropane ring opening in a diastereoselective manner.
