1f was fluorinated following general procedure A described for compound 3a, using benzene as solvent. A mixture of 3f/1f was isolated by preparative TLC (12.4 mg, 1/0.10 ratio, 58% yield). Pure analytical sample was isolated by additional preparative TLC using hexanes/THF as eluent (90% ee). The ee value was determined by HPLC analysis on a Chiralcel AS-H column (3% isopropanol in hexanes, 0.5 mL/min) with retention time of 27.7 min (minor) and 32.4 min (major). Absolute stereochemistry was assigned based on the X-ray crystallographic data of compound 5a. 1H NMR (600 MHz, CDCl3): δ 10.18 (s, 1H), 8.70 (dd, J = 2.3, 1.2 Hz, 1H), 8.50 (dd, J = 8.6, 2.4 Hz, 1H), 7.95 (d, J = 8.6 Hz, 1H), 6.50 (dq, J = 48.5, 6.4 Hz, 1H), 1.66 (dd, J = 24.1, 6.3 Hz, 3H). 13C NMR (150 MHz, CDCl3): δ 190.53l, 150.73 (d, J = 19.7 Hz), 147.67, 132.54 (d, J = 3.7 Hz), 128.62, 128.45 (d, J = 1.7 Hz), 127.18 (d, J = 14.7 Hz), 87.77 (d, J = 171.2 Hz), 23.06 (d, J = 24.5 Hz). 19F NMR (376 MHz, CDCl3): δ –175.06. HRMS (ESI-TOF): m/z calculated for C9H9FNO3+ [M+H]+ 198.0561, found 198.0556.
