Abstract

An expeditious, high-yielding synthesis of rare α-fluoroepoxides and α-fluoroaziridines through the addition of the unkown fluoroiodomethyllithium (LiCHIF) - formed via deprotonation the commercially available fluoroiodomethane with a lithium amide base - to carbonyl-like compounds is documented. The ring-closure reactions, leading to α-fluorinated three-membered heterocycles, rely on the diversely reactive C-I and C-F bonds. Excellent chemoselectivity was observed in the presence of highly sensitive functionalities - aldehyde, ketone, nitrile, alkene - which remained untouched during the homologation sequence.
