Abstract

The synthesis of fluorinated azabicycles from tert-butyldimethylsilyl- protected N-containing cyclic enynols using inexpensive BF3· OEt2 is described. In this reaction, BF3 reacts as both the Lewis acid and the fluoride source for cyclization/fluorination of the TBS-protected cyclic N-containing enynols. The method provides an easy access to fluorinated azabicycles where a new C(sp2)-F bond and a new bicyclic skeleton are generated at ambient temperature within 1-13 min under metal-free reaction conditions.
