Recent Developments in the Asymmetric Detrifluoroacetylative Reactions of in situ Generated Mono-Fluorinated Enolates

The development of an efficient and mild synthetic methodology for the construction of bioactive fluorine-containing molecules represents one of the hot research topics in general synthetic organic chemistry. In this review, some recent progresses achieved in the development of detrifluoroacetylatively generated mono-fluorinated enolates via CC bond cleavage and their asymmetric nucleophilic reactions for assembly of chiral quaternary C-F center containing compounds.
