Abstract

We herein report the nickel-catalyzed enantioselective hydrofluoromethylation of enamides and enol esters with CH2FI as the fluoromethyl source to enable the diversity-oriented synthesis (DOS) of chiral α-fluoromethylated amides as well as esters with features of wide functional group compatibility as well as excellent enantioselectivity. The synthetic value of this protocol was demonstrated by transformations of the resulted α-fluoromethylated amides to different scaffolds including amine, oxazoline, thiazoline, and α-fluoromethylated tetrahydroquinoline.
