Abstract

The electrophilic fluorodesilylation of enantioenriched allenylsilanes proceeds with efficient transfer of chirality. The silylation-fluorination of propargylic alcohols occurs with overall retention of stereochemistry, a result consistent with a stereospecific anti SE2′ mechanism for the fluorination step.
