Merging Radical Brook Rearrangement and 1,5‐Hydrogen Atom Transfer: Facile Synthesis of Ketone‐Containing ɑ‐Fluoroalkyl Alcohols

Abstract Herein, we report a cascade process that is initiated by radical Brook rearrangement and promoted by 1,5‐hydrogen atom transfer. A series of α‐fluoroalkyl alkyl secondary alcohols were synthesized with unactivated terminal olefins and α‐fluoroalkyl‐α‐silyl methanols. The strategy features mild reaction conditions and broad substrate scope. The diversified down‐stream transformations demonstrated the synthetic potential of the reaction.
