Indium-Promoted Diastereoselective Addition of Fluorinated Haloallylic Derivatives to Imines

摘要

We report herein the first general access to fluorinated homoallylic amines by means of an addition of fluorinated organoindium reagent. The corresponding amines were obtained in good to excellent yield with excellent diastereoisomeric ratio. A plausible mechanism is proposed to explain the stereochemical outcome of the reaction based on the X-ray structure of the products.
