Diethyl phosphite mediated reductive [1 + 4] annulation of α-ketoesters with α, β-unsaturated ketones and synthesis of polysubstituted 2,3-dihydrofurans
A simple and practical method for the azidation of β-fluoroalkyl α,β-unsaturated ketones to access a wide variety of fluorinated nitrogenous carbonyl compounds is developed. Different from existing precedents, neither metallic...
