An efficient method to prepare 3-functionalized oxetanes and azetidines has been realized by fluorocyclization, with the pendant electron-donating group playing a crucial role in the cyclization process. The strategy has been successfully applied for the first time to construct four-membered heterocycles, as confirmed by both DFT and experimental studies.
An efficient method to prepare 3-functionalized oxetanes and azetidines has been realized by fluorocyclization of readily available 2-azidoallyl/2-alkoxyallyl alcohols and amines. Notably, this is the first example applying the fluorocyclization strategy to construct four-membered heterocycles. The pendant electron-donating group (-N-3 or -OR) plays a crucial role in polarizing the C=C double bond and facilitating the cyclization process, as verified by DFT and experimental studies.
