Abstract

We report a highly stereoselective synthesis of all-carbon or fluorinated tetrasubstituted alkenes from diazo reagents and fluorinated enol silyl ethers, using C−F bond as a synthetic handle. Cationic AuIcatalysis plays a key role in this reaction. Remarkable fluorine effects on the reactivity and selectivity was also observed.
