B. Greedy et V. Gouverneur, Fluorodesilylation of alkenyltrimethylsilanes: a new route to fluoroalkenes and difluoromethyl-substituted amides, alcohols or ethers, CHEM COMMUN, (03), 2001, pp. 233-234
A range of alkenyltrimethylsilanes are converted to alkenyl fluorides by re
action with one equivalent of Selectfluor(TM) (1-chloromethyl-4-fluoro-1,4-
diazoniabicyclo[2.2.2]octane bis(tetrafluoroborate)), or difluoromethyl-sub
stituted alcohols, ethers or amides using an excess of Selectfluor(TM) in t
he presence of various nucleophiles.
