In this study, a hypervalent iodine catalyst was utilized for the nucleophilic fluorination of unsaturated amides, using BF3·Et2O as the fluorine source and activating reagent. Various 5-fluoro-2-oxazoline derivatives were synthesized with good to excellent yields (up to 95% isolated yield) within a short time of 10 minutes. The process was efficient, metal-free, and conducted under mild conditions. A proposed mechanism involving fluorination/1,2-aryl migration/cyclization cascade was based on previous studies and experimental results.
Hypervalent iodine catalyst-catalyzed nucleophilic fluorination of unsaturated amides using BF3 center dot Et2O as the fluorine source and activating reagent was reported. Various 5-fluoro-2-oxazoline derivatives were synthesized in good to excellent yields (up to 95% isolated yield) within 10 min. The process was efficient and metal-free under mild conditions. A mechanism involving a fluorination/1,2-aryl migration/cyclization cascade was proposed on the basis of previous work and experimental results.
