Abstract

Inexpensive and air stable triphenylcarbenium tetrafluoroborate efficiently promoted the carbofluorination of N-arylpropargylpyrrolidines bearing a tertiary allylic alcohol tether at the 2-position of the pyrrolidine ring to provide 1-isobutenyl-2-(fluoro(phenyl)methylenylhexahydro-1H-pyrrolizidines in a stereoselective fashion. When subjected to bis(trifluoromethane)sulfonamide, the same substrates underwent cycloisomerization reaction within minutes to generate 1-isobutenyl-2-benzoylhexahydro-1H-pyrrolizidines with excellent stereoselectivity.
