Concise preparation of fluorine-containing carbocycles involving the Diels–Alder reaction using fluorinated alkene or diene derivatives

Abstract

The Diels–Alder reaction of trifluorovinyl substances with various dienes proceeded well to give the corresponding trifluorinated cyclohexene derivatives in a regiospecific manner, while 2,3-difluorobuta-1,3-diene molecules also underwent a smooth Diels–Alder reaction with various dienophiles to afford the corresponding vic-difluorocyclohexene structure.
