3-Fluoro-5-methylene-2-cyclopentenone is treated with appropriate nucleophi
les and Lewis acids to undergo regioselective 1,2-addition, exocyclic 1,4-a
ddition, and endocyclic 1,4 addition, leading to 3-substituted 4-methylene-
2-cyclopentenones, 5-substituted 3-fluoro-2-cyclopentenones, and 3-substitu
ted 5-methylene-2-cyclopentenones in good yields, respectively.
