Abstract
A ring-opening fluorination of isoxazoles has been developed. By treating isoxazoles with an electrophilic fluorinating agent (Selectfluor®), fluorination followed by deprotonation leads to tertiary fluorinated carbonyl compounds. The present method features mild reaction conditions, good functional group tolerance, and simple experimental procedure. Diverse transformations of the resulting α-fluorocyanoketones were also demonstrated, furnishing a variety of fluorinated compounds.
