Abstract
The first organocatalytic direct α-fluorination of aldehydes and ketones employing Selectfluor {I-chloromethyl-4-fluoro-1,4-diazoniabicyclo[2.2.2]octane bis(tetrafluoroborate)} as the fluorine source is reported. (S)-Proline and related derivatives act as organocatalysts to give the corresponding α-fluoroaldehydes and α-fluoroketones in moderate to good yields (47-78%). The asymmetric inductions are still low (ee ≤ 36%).
